Dear NRDC Activist,

The Trump administration is going all out to deliver every possible gift to their corporate polluter friends.

And one of the worst giveaways on their bucket list? Oil and gas drilling permits in the spectacular Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.

The administration is ready to auction off this unspoiled wilderness to the highest bidder — so to stop these cataclysmic sales, we're gearing up for a BIG fight. Your gift right now will have DOUBLE the impact to help ensure NRDC has the resources it needs to jump into action the moment the administration makes its move.

Rush a gift of just $5 or more now and do TWICE as much to power our battles — in and out of the courtroom — to protect the Arctic Refuge and other wild places. Every dollar will be matched until July 31, up to $200,000.

The Arctic Refuge is a landscape like no other.

The Gwich'in people call its coastal plain "the sacred place where life begins," and it's a crucial habitat for countless threatened wildlife — including polar bears, caribou, and dozens of species of birds. As temperatures in the Arctic rise and the climate crisis worsens, our leaders should be doing everything in their power to protect this vital ecosystem and build towards a clean energy future that benefits us all.

Instead, the Trump administration is willing to sacrifice the Arctic Refuge if it means helping the fossil fuel industry. In their desperate search for oil in the refuge, they're even rushing to allow seismic testing, a destructive process that sends deafening blasts of sound for months on end into this fragile ecosystem. Untold wildlife could endure terror, pain, and even death — all so Trump's fossil fuel allies can pillage our shared lands for profit.

The Trump Administration is poised to issue permits to rip open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge at any moment — which means we must be ready to sue in federal court at a moment's notice.

Give just $5 or more today and your contribution will be instantly DOUBLED — doing twice as much to help ensure NRDC can respond swiftly and forcefully the moment the Trump administration moves in on the Arctic, and protect all of our treasured public lands.

The untouched landscape along Alaska's north shores was set aside because of how precious, fragile, and irreplaceable it is. The Trump Administration is determined to take what belongs to all of us, and hand it directly over to oil companies to destroy.

We are just as determined to stop them — and we're counting on you to help.

Sincerely,

Niel Lawrence
Alaska Director and Senior Attorney, NRDC
