Dear NRDC Activist,

Any day now, the Biden administration is expected to approve oil giant ConocoPhillips' Willow Project — an enormous oil drilling venture in Alaska that is the largest oil drilling project currently proposed on federal public lands.

The Willow Project is nothing short of a climate bomb. The current proposal would generate an astounding 277 million metric tons of climate-busting carbon pollution that would undermine the administration's own landmark climate law. And it would have devastating impacts on Arctic wildlife like polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds.

NRDC is doing everything in our power to stop the Willow Project from seeing the light of day — but we need your help.

We are exploring all possible scenarios — including an all-out courtroom battle against the Biden administration — to protect the Arctic region from devastating fossil fuel extraction. Your urgent donation today will help us meet our goal of raising $100,000 to power our campaign to block ConocoPhillips' disastrous Willow Project and protect our environment on all fronts.

The Willow project is a harbinger of threats to our climate, our environment, and vulnerable Arctic wildlife. But for oil giant ConocoPhillips, which is leading the Willow Project and reported record profits last year, this destruction of vital lands would be just another financial boon!

ConocoPhillips and other large oil companies reported annual profits of over $150 billion in 2022. That money buys power and influence that they're wielding to wreak even more havoc on our environment.

The Willow Project will generate hundreds of millions of barrels of destructive crude oil, resulting in more climate pollution and more dependence on dirty fossil fuels at a time when we need to be speeding up our transition to clean energy.

We're racing against the clock here. President Biden's decision will be coming down any day now, and we need to make sure we're prepared for all outcomes to take on Big Oil's assault on our climate and protect our environment in the most effective way possible.

Make your gift today and help NRDC raise $100,000 stop the Willow Project and protect our environment on all fronts. If we must, we'll see the Biden administration in court.

Thank you for standing with us at this urgent moment.

Sincerely,

Ann Alexander
Senior Attorney, NRDC's Dirty Energy Project
