Yesterday, the Biden administration announced it will suspend climate-busting oil and gas drilling leases in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge — halting Trump's push to open millions of acres of this pristine land to devastating oil industry exploitation. This is a major step in our ongoing fight to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge.
It's also a major win for our climate — as drilling for oil in these cherished wildlands would accelerate the climate crisis, worsening our addiction to oil and threatening our planet's future.
But know this: The fight to save the Arctic Refuge is far from over. The oil industry will not give up on its decades-long fight to drill in the Arctic Refuge. And at NRDC, we won't give up working to stop them.
NRDC has an ambitious plan to avert climate catastrophe, stand up for our communities, and permanently safeguard climate critical places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from devastating drilling — but we need your support to make it a reality. Your $5 tax-deductible gift to NRDC will be matched $1-for-$1, up to $300,000, if you give before tonight's midnight deadline — so please don't wait.

For the first time in years, we have a pro-climate president and majorities in both chambers of Congress. But our window of opportunity for addressing the climate crisis closes little by little each day.
With well-funded resistance from powerful fossil fuel companies, big polluter lobbyists, and their allies in Congress determined to maintain the status quo and protect profits over people, we can't take anything for granted. That's where you come in.
When you make a matched donation of $5 or more before midnight tonight, your gift will go TWICE as far in NRDC's fight to:
- Cut greenhouse gas pollution from burning fossil fuels in half by 2030
- Help people get out of harm's way from the increasing number of climate impacts and weather-related disasters
- Protect our forests and oceans and restore ecosystems to strengthen the planet's ability to withstand climate change, and so much more
Today is the LAST DAY to make a gift that goes twice as far to make this plan possible. Please, rush an emergency gift before midnight to help us hit our goal.
The clock is ticking — please don't pass this opportunity up.
— NRDC
