Your Actions At Work

Two resolutions moving through Congress right now would open America’s Arctic to oil drilling, despite overwhelming public support for keeping decades of environmental protection in place. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Western Arctic in Alaska represent some of the most critical bird habitats on the planet and must be protected from industrial development.
