Press Release

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Why didn't Joe Biden visit East Palestine until over a year after the poisonous corporate disaster that upended their lives? Why hasn't he signed a declaration of emergency to ensure that East Palestine residents get the resources and justice they deserve? Well, the corporation responsible, Norfolk Southern, is a big campaign donor that gives more to Democrats than Republicans. You can't work for the people if you're bought by big money.

While the people of East Palestine have been waiting for real relief from the poisonous corporate disaster that upended their lives, Biden and both parties in Congress have sent over $14 billion to Israel to wage a genocidal war against the people of Palestine. The media and political establishment have largely moved on from East Palestine. It's an issue that the establishment parties and their corporate sponsors want us to forget. But we won't forget East Palestine.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

The story of everyday people fighting for their lives against corrupt corporate-owned government does not have a happy ending yet. But it's the story of all our lives, from East Palestine to Palestine, and it's why we continue to fight for a better world that puts people, planet, and peace over profit."
