Friend — The Trump administration is proposing to roll back publicly supported protections in the Western Arctic, one of the most ecologically important landscapes on Earth, and allow Big Oil companies to start destructive drilling operations.

The Western Arctic is home to polar bears, wolves, moose, America’s  largest caribou herds, and nesting birds from around the world. The landscape is also crucial to the culture and traditions of Alaska Natives, and helps fight the effects of climate change by reducing greenhouse gases from the air.

Now through August 4, the Interior Department must collect feedback on their proposed protection rollback. We need your help, Friend: We’ve set a goal to submit 5,000 comments from LCV members like you. Please act now — it only takes a moment to add your name. 

Help ensure that environmentalists’ voices are heard before the August 4 deadline. Help us reach 5,000 signatures demanding that the Trump administration maintain protections for the Western Arctic >>

Trump’s proposal puts the interests of Big Oil above those of local communities and the American people, opening up 13 million acres of land to oil and gas development by striking down Special Areas protections for many of the Western Arctic’s unique landscapes.

With rapid changes from climate change and continued threats from oil and gas development, it is critical that we make sure the Trump administration hears from the public that they must maintain strong protections for vulnerable areas in the Western Arctic.

The oil industry wants to roll back protections in the Western Arctic — even when the price is sacrificing sensitive ecosystems and impacting cultural resources for Indigenous communities. Our movement needs to respond. 

Make your voice heard: Please don’t wait — take action now and help us reach 5,000 signatures demanding Trump maintain protections for the Western Arctic >>

Thanks for taking action, Friend.
