A new gas drilling project will turn pristine Arctic wilderness into a
gigantic fossil fuel exploration site.

We can stop this devastating project -- by cutting off its funding.

Can you please chip in to stop Total’s invasion of the Arctic?

John,

French energy giant Total wants to turn untouched Arctic wilderness -- the
last home of the polar bear -- into a gigantic gas drilling site.

But we can still stop the Arctic’s invasion by fossil fuel giants -- and
here’s how:

Total is relying on a €700 million loan guarantee from the French
government -- and President Macron is trying to keep it hush-hush. Macron
cares about his image as an environmental leader -- let’s blow his cover
and expose this huge hypocrisy.

Our plan: we'll melt a spectacular polar bear ice sculpture outside the
French Ministry of Finance to grab headlines and put the destruction of
the Arctic on the front page -- forcing Macron to back down. Can you chip

For generations, the Gwich'in and other Indigenous peoples have been
living and protecting this special Arctic land -- dubbed by some as the
“last wilderness”. It’s a shelter for endangered and threatened species
like the polar bear and narwhal.

But now French energy giant Total is plotting an invasion that will
forever ruin this beautiful paradise.

We simply can’t let that happen.

If we make the French government back off today, we’ll send a strong
message to leaders and fossil fuel companies around the world: we won't
tolerate our taxpayer money being used to finance our destruction!

In today’s busy news, we need this bold stunt to get Macron’s attention.
Just imagine the headlines as this giant ice polar bear melts right
outside the French Finance Ministry -- he won’t be able to hide the fact
he’s pumping millions into killing the Arctic. But we can’t pull this off
without you John! Can you chip in to stop the invasion of the
Arctic?

Across France, SumOfUs members like you have joined with our partners at
350.org to make the French government reconsider its plan to spend public
money on the destruction of the Arctic. The pressure is mounting -- and we
can turn it to a tipping point.

Over the past year, SumOfUs members have been holding our governments to

pouring public recovery money into the worst polluters’ pockets and
getting banks to commit to stop the funding of fossil fuels. With your
help, I know we can win this too!

Will you chip
