March Action Hour: Keep Public Lands in Public Hands

Trump and the billionaires who bought access to him are systematically undermining our land management agencies, unjustly firing the workers who steward these lands, and leaving America's national treasures unprotected. But we can help stop it! Our Public Lands Action Hour will walk you through how to take focused, effective action to protect our public lands and ensure that we can continue to enjoy and explore them for generations to come. Join us tomorrow at 3 p.m. PT / 6 p.m. ET!

The Arctic Refuge Is in Danger

Trump wants to lease the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas developers in order to pay for more and bigger tax cuts. Besides being a terrible idea from a dollars and cents perspective, it's a huge threat to the wildlife and people who depend on the refuge to simply exist. The Gwich'in people depend on reliable and robust caribou migrations to live, and without an intact, unindustrialized Arctic Refuge, those caribou are at risk. Tell Congress to protect the Arctic Refuge and all of its natural wonders.

Tell Public Pensions in Your State to Hold Polluters Accountable!

Each year, public companies hold shareholder meetings to vote on critical issues, including the climate crisis. At these meetings, public pension funds are among the most influential investors. While they serve public sector workers, they are funded by taxpayers, meaning that all of us can help influence these votes! Tell your state’s pension fund to vote for a better future!

Help Stop Attacks on the Endangered Species Act!

The Endangered Species Act is our nation’s most effective law for protecting wildlife in danger of extinction. Yet Trump, Congress, and the corporate polluters that bought access to them want to weaken the Endangered Species Act or get rid of it entirely. Science -- not profit -- should be driving decisions about which species need protection. Tell Congress to stand up for the Endangered Species Act!

Critical Gray Wolf Protections Are Under Threat -- We Need Your Support

Trump and his allies in Congress want to take us back to the 1800s by completely removing federal protections for gray wolves. These wolves are integral to our country's ecology, economy, and culture, but many of the states where they are found would rather kill wolves than protect them. Will you unite with us as a powerful grassroots community to fight back and protect wolves from this dangerous administration and its congressional allies?

Alaskan Tribes and Activists Are Ready to Resist Ambler Road, Again

The case for Ambler Road had been settled. Regulators would not cleave through Alaska's Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, one of the last untouched wild areas of America. However, with President Trump in office, all bets are off. Now, a community that fought to keep the road out of their traditional homelands may find themselves back to square one.
