Dear NRDC Activist,

Arctic permafrost is thawing so rapidly that the ground in Alaska's North
Slope may not even be solid enough to support the machinery needed for oil
drilling.

I can't think of a clearer sign that we must cease oil and gas development
in this fragile ecosystem. But unbelievably, oil industry giant
ConocoPhillips is so desperate to move forward with a massive new
expansion of toxic oil drilling in the Arctic that the company actually
plans to install "chillers" in the ground to keep it solid enough for
their rapacious drilling — drilling that will make the cycle of warming
and melting even worse.

We cannot go on like this. That's why NRDC is fighting on to break the
fossil fuel industry's stranglehold on our environment, in the Arctic and
beyond. It's why we're doing our all to ensure oil companies stay out of
the iconic Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And because this fight is so
critical, we're offering a FIVE TIMES MATCH until July 31.

[ [link removed] ]Donate just $5 and help us
stop Big Oil from destroying what remains of our wild planet, end our
dependence on fossil fuel, and defend our environment on all fronts. Every
dollar donated will be MATCHED 5X — that's right, FIVE times, up to
$250,000!

even just $5 can make a big impact, so
please don't sit this one out.

As part of this fight, NRDC is currently
in federal court challenging the Trump Administration's approval of
ConocoPhillips's winter oil and gas exploration on the doorstep of an
Indigenous community in the Western Arctic.

And NRDC is working overtime to help the Biden administration put an end,
once-and-for-all, to the desperate attempts to open the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge to drilling — which would be a death sentence for Arctic
wildlife and the Arctic ecosystem.

Industrialization would disrupt the migration, breeding, and calving of
the sensitive Porcupine caribou, to the point that they may not survive.
And without the caribou and other wildlife, Indigenous communities who
have relied on the natural values of these lands for generations will face
a devastating blow to their way of life.

We will never survive our climate crisis if we allow Big Oil to pursue
drilling like this.

We're out of time to act — and we must do everything possible NOW to end
our dependency on fossil fuels and transition to a healthy, sustainable
future.

[ [link removed] ]Donate before July 31 and your gift will be MATCHED FIVE TIMES, up to
$250,000. That's 5X the impact to fight back against Big Oil's dangerous
attempts to pillage our wild places for profit and to defend our
environment in the most effective way possible. Even $5
has the impact of $25!

Nothing less than the future of our planet is at stake, which is why NRDC
will continue to fight with everything we've got against the fossil fuel
industry — from courtroom battles to major advocacy campaigns to putting
pressure on President Biden and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to do the
right thing by putting our environment first.

Thank you for everything you've done to support this vital work — we
couldn't do this without you.

Sincerely,

Garett Rose
Senior Policy Advocate, Nature, NRDC
