URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Stop FRACKING in critical habitat for a vulnerable bird!

Picture this: a majestic bird strutting across sagebrush plains. A proud fluffy chest and fancy tail feathers that fan out like sun rays. This is the Greater sage-grouse, an iconic bird of the American West known for its unique courtship dances.

But soon, the windswept prairies where this iconic bird lives could be STAINED with grimy metallic machines and screeching sounds. Corporate polluters are SO CLOSE to successfully leasing this land to fracking for profit, DESTROYING public lands and critical habitats! The Department of Interior could CANCEL this lease sale, but we’re RUNNING OUT OF TIME! Protect public lands and critical wildlife habitat: send your message to the DOI by 11:59 pm TONIGHT!

This fracking will impact more than just birds, Friend. The wastewater can POISON drinking water for nearby communities, sometimes even containing RADIOACTIVE WASTE!

But there’s more. Fracking involves blasting high-pressure water into the ground, cracking the Earth, and creating unstable rocks. In some cases, it’s even been known to trigger earthquakes!

Vulnerable wildlife. Severe health concerns for people. Potential earthquakes. The DOI has more than enough reason to stop corporate polluters from fracking on our public lands -- but it’s moving forward with this sale anyway! But if just 78 more people from your city send a message to the DOI, we can help push it to PROTECT people and public lands. Add your name by 11:59 pm TONIGHT!

Standing with you,
