Dear Friend of
Defenders,

Crushed to death. Driven from their Arctic home forever.

That's the very real threat facing polar bear moms and cubs if the
Trump administration's oil invasion of the Arctic National Wildlife
Refuge proceeds as planned.

And as we observe Polar Bear Week, there's no better time to double
down on our fight to stop this reckless exploration and drilling
before it starts.

Polar bears and other arctic wildlife are under attack - help
put the brakes on this oil invasion with an urgent gift of $15 or
more!

As you read this, the Trump Administration is preparing to open the
Arctic Refuge coastal plain for oil leasing.

Oil and gas drilling is a dirty business, and would devastate this
fragile ecosystem: the exploration phase alone would bring crews of
hundreds of people, heavy machinery and utility vehicles, including
90,000-pound "thumper" trucks that send massive shock waves into the
fragile tundra.

These shock waves can cause mother bears to abandon dens, which is
harmful to the mother bear and fatal to her cubs. The massive trucks
could also roll over polar bear dens and crush hibernating polar bears
and their cubs to death.

Following exploration, development would bring permanent roads,
pipelines and processing facilities.

You only need to look at the oilfields of Prudhoe Bay to get a glimpse
of what's in store for the Arctic Refuge if we do nothing.

What will we tell our children if we fail? Can we live with letting
the polar bears vanish for a few barrels of oil?

There's so much at stake right now. Please - I'm counting on
your help with a gift of $15 or more.
