We're livid, John.

The Biden administration just took a key step toward approving a huge oil
drilling project in the North Slope of Alaska.

The administration issued a new environmental analysis on ConocoPhillips'
Willow project, which experts agree could signal their support for the
plan.^1 The first review was rejected by a judge for not sufficiently
considering the project’s effects on climate change and wildlife.

But the good news is that the administration has not made a final decision
yet and we still have time to make our voices heard. The Interior
Department will take comments from the public for 45 days before they
decide later this year whether this climate wrecking project can go ahead.

We believe that with enough public pressure, we can show the Biden
Administration that they must reject the Willow project proposal. [ [link removed] ]Can
you send a message to the White House now asking them to reject this
disastrous project and protect our climate?

sample comment you can use, but it’s best to use your own words if
possible:

Dear President Biden,

When elected, you promised to address the climate crisis with the urgency
it deserves, and assured the world that your plans to cut emissions were
more than words.

Allowing ConocoPhillips' Willow project to move forward is hypocritical
and highly inconsistent with your Administration’s climate agenda, and
could result in the burning of an additional 590 million barrels of oil
over 30 years.

There is still time to stay true to your agenda: please reject the Willow
project and protect our planet for future generations.

Thank you.

We first wrote to you about this project back in February and
together,
our movement sent in 11,966 public comments against the
project.

If built, this project would allow the construction of up to 250 drilling
wells, not to mention pipelines, roads, and a processing facility, in an
area just 36 miles from the mostly-Indigenous village of Nuiqsut in
Alaska.

Not only would the Willow project result in the burning of another 590
million barrels of oil — as if that's not enough — but it would also
drastically impact Indigenous communities' from increased pollution,
wildlife degradation, the risk of violence, as well as pave the way for
more drilling in the area.^2

[ [link removed] ]Can you help us build public pressure on the Biden administration and
submit a comment today?

We must make our voices heard to support communities on the frontlines of
this fight and demand that the Biden Administration end this project once
and for all.

Thank you for being by our side in this fight,

Team 350
