It's a nightmare scenario: the fossil fuel industry getting their hands on sacred lands in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and drilling as much they want. 😱 After years of advocacy calling on the federal government to protect these vital lands, this is a crucial moment to urge President Biden to stop future oil and gas leases once and for all. Let's join together to protect the Porcupine caribou (a vital resource for the Gwich'in people) and polar bears, and prevent more climate emissions from fossil fuels.

The oil and gas industry has known for decades that fossil fuels cause climate change, and has spent billions of dollars spreading misinformation to protect their own profits. 🕸 They spun a web of lies, put a spell on politicians (otherwise known as buying them off), and put our future at risk. With this landmark legislation, California strives to hold them accountable for fires, floods, and drought caused by climate change.
