DEVELOPING… this is huge news, friend — the House Natural Resources Committee has met and is poised to approve a proposal to block oil drilling in most U.S. waters and Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Trump rushed to sell drilling rights in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and nine drilling leases had already been sold. This bill would abolish the requirement in law to sell additional leases and void the existing leases.

This move will set off a firestorm among oil industry allies in Congress. What happens next is that the proposal will be added to President Biden's Build Back Better package. The plan already includes major provisions on climate change and environmental justice.

Friend — this bill is the most important climate legislation in a generation. We're putting EVERYTHING on the line to get it passed. The truth is — this is our last, best chance to tackle the climate crisis. And we need your help.

We're asking: pitch in. This is the biggest grassroots campaign, to pass the most important climate legislation in a generation. Now is the moment »

Our campaign is working. We're hearing from Members of Congress who are being inundated with messages from grassroots activists. They're seeing pro-environment lawn signs in their home districts, ads across multiple platforms — they're seeing support everywhere for action on climate now.

But, bottom line: we can't keep this up without your help. And, if you donate $25 or more, you'll also receive an invite to our exclusive Climate Action Watch Party!

On Wednesday, September 22, 2021 we are bringing our community of thousands of members together to hear from climate champions from across the movement and get plugged into our plan to win this vote.

Your donation of $25 or more will go directly to our field campaigns, but also grant you entrance to one of our biggest events of the year, where you can hear from Senator Catherine Cortez Masto, Representative Lisa Blunt Rochester, and more to be announced!
 
Even if you can't make a $25 or more gift, a gift of any size is enough to help this huge campaign. Pitch in today. Fight for the most important climate legislation in a generation »

Thank you for everything that you do. We'll be in touch again in the leadup to the vote.

Onward,

Alex, Brooke, Caitlyn, Casey, ChiQuita, Jim, and Brent
