NRDC Supporter, time is running out.

In one week, the Trump administration will hold the first-ever lease sale
in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge when they'll try to hand over
huge swaths of this pristine wildlife sanctuary to oil giants like
Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and others.

NRDC is in court right now fighting to block this devastating lease sale —
but [ [link removed] ]we need your support now more than ever.

[ [link removed] ]If you donate today to help save the Arctic Refuge and protect our
environment on all fronts, your gift will be TRIPLE MATCHED, up to our
$500,000 goal. Even $5 helps
enormously.

[ [link removed] ]Help protect the Arctic.

Auctioning off the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is an egregious
intrusion into the sacred lands of the Gwich'in and the Indigenous Peoples
who stand with them. And it's a shameless attack on our climate, our
shared wildlands, and threatened Arctic wildlife.

More drilling in the Arctic — where temperatures are already rising at
three times the rate of the rest of the planet — will exacerbate our
climate crisis by furthering our addiction to fossil fuels and compounding
the carbon pollution driving climate change.

The Trump administration's corporate allies will be the only winners. The
rest of us, especially the Indigenous communities for whom this land is
critical, will pay the price forever.

At NRDC, we're doing everything in our power to stop the Trump
administration's drilling scheme while simultaneously mobilizing to press
the Biden-Harris administration on day one to secure permanent protections
for the Arctic Refuge once and for all. But this work takes significant
resources and there are long, hard days ahead.

[ [link removed] ]Please take advantage of this limited time opportunity to have your
gift TRIPLE MATCHED to power our critical fight to save the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: The Arctic Refuge is unlike
any other place on earth. It's truly special.

Losing this land to industrial exploitation means losing one of the last
truly wild places on earth, the largest unspoiled wildlife refuge in
America, and a haven for Porcupine caribou and imperiled polar bears.

We can stop this destruction before it's too late. We must. [ [link removed] ]Can I count
on you to join our fight?

Thank you for making our work
possible.

Sincerely,
