Dear NRDC Activist,
Twenty-eight days into the longest government shutdown in U.S. history, millions of Americans are struggling without a paycheck, and nine federal departments and agencies are mostly shuttered.
But that hasn’t stopped President Trump from bringing Interior Department employees back to work -- without pay -- to push ahead with plans for expanding oil and gas drilling along our coasts and on our public lands, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
The Trump administration just released a draft Environmental Impact Statement that, if approved, would bring the administration and its fossil fuel allies one big step closer to tearing open the Arctic Refuge’s pristine, publicly-owned land for fossil fuel extraction.
But before they can do that, the administration must accept public comments on this assessment -- so we need your help to mobilize a massive outcry today.
Show the Trump administration that Americans strongly oppose destroying the biological heart of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Submit an official public comment now before the Feb. 11 deadline! >>

Often called “America’s Serengeti”, the Arctic Refuge in Alaska is the largest unspoiled wildlife refuge in America. It’s a haven for iconic wildlife like Porcupine caribou and imperiled polar bears, vital to the culture and survival of the region’s Gwich’in people, and ground zero for climate change.
Moving forward with these reckless plans in the middle of a government shutdown means that the future of this cherished refuge is being jeopardized in the dark, with little public oversight.
NRDC Activist, we can’t allow this administration to open the heart of our greatest wildland to destruction by the fossil fuel industry. If we don’t act now, lease sales for drilling in the Refuge could begin this year.
Act now: Submit a public comment telling the Trump administration you oppose any drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

NRDC is on the frontlines fighting to save the Arctic Refuge and so many more of our cherished public lands and waters from the Trump administration’s relentless attacks -- in court, in Washington, and in communities like yours.
In fact, we're in federal court right now fighting to block Trump and his oil industry allies’ attempts to illegally authorize oil drilling in the Beaufort Sea, which sits right off the coast of the Arctic Refuge. An oil spill there could devastate the Refuge, blanketing its sensitive coastline with a deadly slick of toxic crude that would be functionally impossible to clean up.
And we’re keeping watch for an expected Trump administration announcement any day now about a potentially massive expansion of offshore drilling along nearly all of America’s coastlines, including along the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific coasts.
Here’s the bottom line: The Arctic Refuge belongs to us -- and this fight for our land requires a show of massive public resistance that the Trump administration can’t ignore.
Please send a message to save the Arctic Refuge today.
