<div>Andy Valentine has been wrongfully terminated—and we need your help to fight back.

<div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rcX6WE_ymc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>On January 4, 2024, a devastating subway crash at</strong> </a>96th Street left dozens injured. The MTA rushed to blame<strong> “employee error,”</strong> but the <a href="https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/?NTSBNumber=RRD24MR004" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) proved</strong></a> otherwise.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Andy, was the flagger riding in the head car of a disabled train, AND he acted heroically. He:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Saw the red signal
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Radioed the supervisor
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>The communication failed
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Stayed behind to ensure passengers’ safety
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>But the MTA’s faulty communication system </strong>caused the transmission to fail. <strong>The NTSB investigation clearly shows the crash was due to a system failure—not employee error. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Train Operator Andy Valentine has been scapegoated, terminated by an <strong>arbitrator who refused to look at the NTSB Report </strong>— and we need your help to fight back.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And what’s worse?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The MTA knew and knows the truth.
</div>
<div>The NTSB report confirmed it.
</div>
<div>They wrongfully fired Andy anyway.
</div>
<div><a href="https://data.ntsb.gov/Docket/?NTSBNumber=RRD24MR004" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">They refused to even look at the report</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t justice. It’s betrayal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need your help every dollar raised goes to ensure to Andays legal defense. We are reach the 10k make by Friday so the lawyer can begin the work.
</div>
