Goal

Dear friends,

Clean water, soil and air are fundamental human rights. After the Norfolk Southern train derailment, hazardous spill and burn-off of carcinogenic chemicals, residents of East Palestine, Ohio have been denied these rights.They are getting sick, thousands of animals are mysteriously dying and strange phenomenon is happening in local streams. 


If the research hypothesis is correct, this disaster will impact the Ohio Valley, the East Coast and possibly all of North America. 


This is why "good research" is important and right now East Palestine needs our help doing it.


I will be riding my bicycle solo through the Rust-Belt from Chicago to Philadelphia (and places beyond) to give a voice to this community and help them fight a Goliath corporation and complicit politicians. 

The EPA's collection of data has been inadequate and politicians are in with Norfolk Southern; which speaks on the interplay between corporations and government.

So, please join me in supporting this research, either with a small financial donation or sharing it on your social media platforms. 


Kind regards,

Dennis Dodson

   

Chemicals from East Palestine might impact everyone in North America.


Norfolk Southern has made the area unsuitable for human life.


The EPA has been running cover for them by telling people it's safe.


It's hard to get support for evacuation when all the official sources say everything is fine.


We were going to raise funds to help people evacuate but it would take around fifty million dollars do that.


It's better to focus on getting testing done.


This way we can prove there is a problem and hopefully force the government and the railway company to foot the evacuation bill.


The best way to get people evacuated is to fund independent testing.


This situation is much worse than what the government is saying.


We are standing up to them by getting testing done independently.


Test equipment is expensive but we can win this battle with science.


Awesome researchers like Dr. Golomb and Professor Whelton are helping to get things done.


We are scoring some big wins.


We need funding to make it work.


Together we can make a difference.


This is a great opportunity for people to stand up to large corporations who think they can do whatever they want because the government is in their pocket.


Norfolk Southern spends almost two billion dollars per year on lobbying.


We can't compete with that.


The government is on their side but they still have to act if we can prove there is a problem.


That's why we're focused on funding independent testing.


This is life saving work.


Please donate whatever you can (even a dollar) and share our fundraiser on your social media.

Lets get this man rolling. BTW I've heard the rail infrastructure was designed for normal #'s of cars and an engine or two. Now due to corporate and our own greed trains of hundreds of cars, with front, rear, and central engines are part of the overload reason for frequent failures. (and crappy, slipshod maintenance)
