Good news! The Biden administration recently hit pause on new LNG exports, a critical first step toward our ultimate goal of phasing out LNG – especially as the United States is the world’s largest exporter of this climate-destroying energy source.

This pause is while the administration decides whether it’s in the public interest to permit massive new LNG projects, which would worsen the climate crisis and further threaten our health. We need your help to urge the Biden administration to take the next step to phase out dirty fuels.

Tell the Biden administration you support the pause on LNG, and you’re counting on them to continue their progress in phasing out dirty fuels and combating the climate crisis.

Only days into the new year we were greeted with tragic news – a weeks-old North Atlantic right whale calf was struck and fatally injured by a vessel. Again.

Perhaps the most tragic part of this incident is that it could have been entirely avoided. Despite several deadly vessel strikes in recent years, the Biden administration’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has delayed the process of finalizing a vessel speed rule that would require vessels of the size that hit the calf to slow down to a safer speed.

With fewer than 340 North Atlantic right whales remaining, if the species is to avoid extinction, we must take immediate action.

Tell NOAA to strengthen protections for one of the most endangered whales on the planet before it’s too late.
