Friend --

On top of everything that has happened these last few weeks, we wanted to make sure you saw the recent devastating news on the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

On their way out the door, the Trump administration auctioned off leases to allow oil and gas drilling in one of America's last great wildernesses for a fraction of what they said they were worth.

This is a huge blow to our environment. Drilling in the refuge would be disastrous for this fragile ecosystem and the climate. But we can still fight back -- because of pressure campaigns from activists like you, major energy companies passed on getting drilling rights, forcing the state of Alaska to be the primary bidder for these leases.

We can't let up now. If you oppose drilling in one of America's last wild places, add your name today.

We've proven that raising our voices can make all the difference. We will soon have an administration that understands that value of protecting America's last remaining wild spaces, we need to make sure saving the Arctic Refuge is one of their top priorities. Thank you for standing strong.

Team Cantwell
