1.6 million acres of pristine, untouched wilderness is about to be auctioned off for Big Oil profit, so we need you to speak up now!
Imagine, John, 1.6 million acres of beautiful, untouched-by-industry wilderness DECIMATED. Polar bears, caribou and 200 species of birds wiped out. Indigenous communities uprooted, their sacred ways of life robbed of them.
In a matter of months, this could be reality within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: The Trump administration's Department of the Interior is auctioning off this protected land – America's largest national wildlife refuge – for oil drilling.
We know all too well the havoc fossil fuel companies will wreak if they secure leases to the refuge. Not only could there be toxic oil spills, but the drilling would cause unsustainable levels of air and water pollution and huge amounts of carbon emissions, hurtling us closer to climate catastrophe.
Make no mistake, John – this could be among the largest and most damaging notches in Donald Trump's belt of environmental destruction. We are counting on people like you to use your voice and DEFEND the Arctic Refuge before it's too late. Indigenous communities like the Gwich'in and Inupiaq, who have long relied on the natural resources the refuge provides, could lose their way of life if we don't act fast.
This is a matter of environmental justice. And we still need 13 more people from xxxxxx to take our urgent poll before the 11:59 p.m. deadline, including you. The poll expires at midnight, and we can't keep it open, so don't miss your chance to make an impact:
Should the Department of the Interior be allowed to auction off the drilling rights to America’s last large untouched wilderness?
