IMAGININGS FROM THE BACKBONE CAMPAIGN

Dear Friend, thank you, WE  are practically speechless with shock and gratitude.  Yes, we track the 501c3 stuff very closely and protect our non-profit status aggressively.  Our work remains primarily cultural, and public education through creative action and organizing to build A social movement. We remain fiercely independent of political parties.  We too are deeply troubled and will do whatever we can to support creative protests of that project. Humans can be very disappointing and foolish, as well as beautiful and brilliant. 

Envision rail, the world’s oldest form of mechanized mass transportation, offering solutions to meet some of the 21st century’s most pressing needs:

• Addressing climate disruption with rapid transition to renewable energy
• Reducing economic inequity with sustainable economic development and jobs
• Rebuilding aging and deteriorating infrastructure.

That’s what Solutionary Rail is all about.  Where there are problems, it offers solutions. It is a strategy conceived by a team of national experts and advocates convened by the Backbone Campaign.  Over the past three years we have been working on a proposal for electrifying U.S. railroads and power freight and passenger trains with renewable energy.  Now we need YOUR HELP to get that proposal out to the citizens and leaders who will make it happen.

Solutionary Rail proposes higher-speed rail, adding capacity and efficiency to our existing network of tracks to draw freight and passengers back from highways and open new opportunities for communities and workers.

We are seeking $17,500 to publish our book and promote Solutionary Rail: How to Jumpstart Rail Electrification in the US.  The Solutionary Rail book and educational poster will be critical tools in our campaign to create a major US rail electrification demonstration project along the Northern Corridor from the Great Lakes to the Salish Sea.  

PLEASE PITCH-IN NOW! In gratitude and Collaboration, 

Bill Moyer and the Solutionary Rail Team!
