Tell the Biden Administration to Protect the Arctic Refuge

The Trump administration opened up the pristine Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas exploitation—attacking not only our climate and wildlife but also the ancestral lands and ways of life of Indigenous groups, including the Gwich’in, who have been living in the Arctic for thousands of years. President Biden’s Department of the Interior has launched a formal review of this reckless policy, so now is the time to keep the pressure on: Submit a public comment before the October 4 deadline telling Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge.
