John,

For decades, the federal government has allowed the fossil fuel industry to drill on public lands.

Today, we can stop the expansion of fossil fuel drilling on public lands by passing the Keep It in the Ground Act of 2021 introduced by the U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and Congressmember Jared Huffman.

Can you ask your representatives to co-sponsor the Keep It in the Ground Act today? Together, we will create a movement strong enough to stop the fossil fuel industry and build a better future for all. [link removed]

If made into law, this new bill will not only stop new leases for coal, oil, gas, oil shale, and tar sands drilling on federal lands, but, it will also make sure that over 90% of the potential carbon emissions from oil, gas, and coal on our federal lands and waters stay in the ground.

Our public land is not a commodity. It’s a common good. We need to put an end to the fossil fuel industry profiting off of our communities and our land now.

But we can't do it alone. It's going to take all of us:

Will you write to your representatives  today and ask them to co-sponsor the Keep It in the Ground Act? [link removed]

Now is the time to demand that fossil fuels stay in the ground.

Now is the time for Congress to act and for our government to stop using our public lands to make the fossil fuel industry richer.

Now is the time for our movement to stand up to the entire fossil fuel industry.

Big oil and gas may have unlimited sums of money to lobby politicians, but we have something even more powerful. We have each other.

Write to your representatives today asking them to co-sponsor the Keep It in the Ground Act. Together, we can end the age of fossil fuels. → [link removed]
