Support the Fight to Protect Burnet's Ranches: Help Fund Legal Efforts Against Railway Expansion
In the heart of Burnet, Texas, a battle is unfolding that could shape the future of our community and its beloved ranches. The proposed railway expansion threatens not only the scenic beauty and tranquility of our landscape but also the livelihoods of the ranchers who have called this area home for generations.
This railway extension proposed by Texas Materials to move conglomerate promises economic growth and infrastructural development, however in reality it risks the destruction of the land, the environment, and the heritage that our community has built over decades. Ranches that have been passed down through families for generations are now in jeopardy of being torn apart by construction and damaging our rural way of life forever.
This is where your help is needed.
Why We Need Your Support
The fight against the railway expansion is not just about stopping a project—it's about preserving the values that make Burnet unique. It’s about ensuring that ranchers, farmers, and families in this area can continue to thrive, without the looming threat of an invasive and disruptive railway cutting through their land. To make this fight a reality, we need to secure the necessary legal resources to stand up against this corporate giant with deep pockets.
Legal battles of this scale come with significant expenses. We intend to help support the legal battle in Washington along with a group of affected landowners who are leading the charge in this fight. This is why we are turning to our community—and to you—to ask for your support.
We have set up a GoFundMe account to raise funds for legal expenses, which will help us fight this battle and secure a future where Burnet’s ranches can continue to thrive. Every dollar raised will go directly toward legal expenses, helping to ensure that we have the resources to stand up against the railway expansion.
