Supporter,

The first time I visited the Arctic Refuge, I saw this written on the wall of a community center in a small Gwich'in village in Alaska: "We have lived our sustainable way of life off this land for 20,000 years, must we now sacrifice it for six months of oil?"

It broke my heart that this was even a question. We will not allow oil and gas drilling to destroy this place and its people.

We've been fighting for the Arctic for years, and wherever we go, people always remark that they really like our Defend the Arctic artwork. So we decided to turn it into a sticker — and give it to our supporters for FREE! We're nearing one of the most crucial times to show our support for the Arctic: the Trump administration is expected to hold lease sales for drilling as soon as December. Show your support for the Arctic and get your free sticker through this quick form!

When the lease sales do happen, we will need a massive response across the entire country to show oil companies that drilling in the Arctic will have financial and reputational consequences. The Gwich'in Nation of Alaska and Canada, our partners in the fight, are asking everybody to join them in a nationwide Day of Action by sharing our own places of refuge or safe havens (like a park, library, or even your kitchen table!). Over 10k people have already signed up to join us and get their sticker to display on that day!

Show your support for the Arctic — during December's expected lease sales, and beyond — with your Defend the Arctic sticker.

The Arctic Refuge might be far away, but what happens there impacts all of us. Thanks for helping us bring this fight to the Lower 48.
