John,
I want to make sure you saw Adam's email below. We have a huge opportunity to influence public lands stewardship and help end oil and gas extraction on public lands.
The Department of the Interior is looking for ways to improve how public lands and waters are managed — and they want your help. Send your message to preserve our public lands and halt all oil and gas extraction.

John,
Twenty-six million acres.
That’s how much public land is currently being leased to Big Oil & Gas – and another 12 million acres of public waters as well.
Public lands and waters belong to everyone. But for over a century, administration after administration has favored the financial interests of Big Oil & Gas and leased these lands to be drilled and defiled at the expense of human health, wildlife and the climate. Today, nearly a quarter of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions originate from fossil fuel extraction on public lands. This must end.
The Department of the Interior is looking for ways to improve how public lands and waters are managed — and they want your help. Tell the Department of the Interior: Preserve our public lands and halt all oil and gas extraction.

Fracking is an extreme and dangerous way of extracting oil and gas that causes massive amounts of methane leakage, water contamination, air pollution and even earthquakes. It disrupts wildlife, harms people and communities, and it’s devastating public lands.
Now is the time to demand a new era in the climate fight by taking on the fossil fuel industry directly. Addressing the climate crisis requires stopping all new fossil fuel infrastructure and a ban on fracking — starting on our public lands.
We must keep fossil fuels in the ground if we are to prevent the most cataclysmic effects of climate change. That means we can’t allow any further fracking and drilling on public lands. The inherent danger of fracking means that no set of regulations can ever make it safe for public health or the environment. Halting fracking on public lands is a no-brainer.
No Drilling on Public Lands

Food & Water Watch has been leading the fight to ban fracking on public lands for years, including at cherished places like Chaco Canyon. We helped introduce the first bill to ban fracking on federal lands. And as we bring more and more people together to demand real action against fracking, we can protect our public lands from fossil fuel extraction. But it can only be done with your help.
You have a huge opportunity to influence public lands stewardship and help end oil and gas extraction on public lands. It’s time for the new administration to take real action to protect our environment and climate. That starts with all of us demanding change and banning fracking on public lands!
Send your message to the Department of the Interior urging it to stop leasing our public lands and waters to Big Oil & Gas.
