Hi John,
Any minute now a judge will rule on our request to stop the Willow project from breaking ground till our legal case against it can be heard.
No matter what, we'll keep fighting to save Alaska's Western Arctic and its wildlife and communities.
Please help with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. Starting today all gifts will be matched by a generous donor.
We went to court the day after the Biden administration sold out the wild.
Then we went to court again seeking an emergency order to stop the bulldozers from breaking ground.
Our ask is simple: Don't let construction begin — and cause irreparable harm to this pristine place — while the court is deciding whether Biden's approval of the project was legal.
Willow would mean drilling up to 199 oil wells. It would mean hundreds of miles of ice roads, hundreds of miles of pipelines, an airstrip, and a gravel mine.
The Western Arctic is the largest, most intact stretch of wilderness in the United States. It must be protected — not turned into on oilfield.
The profound costs to biodiversity and the climate from Willow should have made rejecting this dangerous project an easy decision.
But the Biden administration turned its back on the planet and greenlit it.
Willow will pollute the climate with some 260 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions over 30 years — as much as nearly 2 million cars.
The time is now to stop these kinds of drilling projects and fossil fuel extraction.
We don't know at this moment which way the judge will go.
What we are sure of is we won’t stop fighting.
Please help by making a matched donation to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
For the wild,
