John,

The Trump administration is ending as it began: with a desperate push for oil drilling, regardless of the human and environmental costs.

Trump plans to sell off rights to drill for oil in Alaska’s pristine and fragile Arctic National Wildlife Refuge just days ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, forever damaging this irreplaceable ecosystem.

Iconic and sacred landscapes such as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should never be opened for oil and gas drilling. Populations of whales, polar bears, seabirds and walruses are already suffering from the Arctic’s changing climate, and other sensitive resources that the Indigenous Alaska Native people depend on are being put at risk.

Drilling for more fossil fuels is not only moving us backwards, it’s fueling the climate crisis at an increasing rate. But we are fighting back. Will you donate now and QUADRUPLE your impact to protect our food, water, climate, and public lands like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from Big Oil & Gas?

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet. It is home to more than 200 species of birds, eight marine mammals, and iconic species like polar, grizzly and black bears, caribou and wolves. Many of these species, already endangered, need the unique and irreplaceable habitat found in the refuge to survive and flourish. And some of these animals are essential to the traditional way of life of Native Gwich’in people who have lived in this area for millennia.

Drilling for oil and gas takes us further away from solving our climate crisis and would devastate this treasured public land, its wildlife and the human rights of Indigenous people. Will you join our fight to block Big Oil & Gas from drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and protect our food, water, and climate?

You know that public pressure and collective strategic action work. You’ve been with us for every important milestone, at every crucial fight to protect public lands and the animals and people who rely on them. Join us now to continue the fight in our courts, in state houses and Congress, and on the ground as we do everything we can to protect our public lands and national treasures from oil and gas drilling.

Trump is counting on us to be distracted, but we are determined to stop his lame duck attacks on the environment. Will you join us today when your gift will have the biggest impact?

Donate today to protect our food, water, climate, and public lands from oil and gas drilling and have your donation go four times as far.

Onwards,
