Dear John,

Big Oil is cashing in on the coronavirus crisis. Right now, it’s pushing for a
dirty fossil fuel project off the Texas Gulf Coast -- while the country’s
attention is on a national pandemic.

The Sea Port Oil Terminal would include 168 miles of pipelines. The project
would permanently alter fragile wetlands and threaten wildlife and communities
in the surrounding area.

The good news: The federal government could stop this project in its tracks. But
they won’t act unless they hear from you.

Tell the federal government to put our public waters before Big Oil’s profits!

The Sea Port Oil Terminal would transport 2 million barrels of crude oil through
the Gulf every day. This would increase the risk of an oil spill.

One of the corporations spearheading the project, Enterprise, has a history of
being careless with its projects. In 2017, Enterprise’s Seaway pipeline leaked
over 600,000 barrels of crude oil near Dallas. And the year before, it had
another major spill in Cushing, Oklahoma.

An oil spill off the Texas coast would contaminate drinking water. It would also
gut the tourism and fishing industries that local communities rely on.

What’s more, the project’s path includes vital wildlife habitats -- including
some of the last remaining habitat for critically endangered Kemp’s Ridley sea
turtles.

Take Action NOW: Tell the Trump Administration to stop the Sea Port Oil
Terminal!

The Sea Port Oil Terminal would lock us into decades of reliance on fossil
fuels. The only ones who would benefit are the oil companies who have millions
in profits at stake.

The federal government should be focused on protecting Americans whose lives
have been disrupted by COVID-19. Now is not the time to advance another
polluting and dangerous fossil fuel project.

It’s up to environmentalists like you to stop Big Oil from exploiting
coronavirus to line their pockets. Will you fight for the only Earth we'll ever
have?

Stop the Trump Administration from harming endangered wildlife and risking an
oil spill to help Big Oil!
