No New Oil Drilling in Alaska

President Biden recently declared, "Climate change is literally an existential threat to our nation and to the world . . . We need to act."

We couldn't agree more.

But now, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is moving closer to greenlighting the Willow Project in Alaska. If approved, this would be the single largest oil extraction project on US federal lands, producing 629 million barrels of oil and spewing up to 284 million metric tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere over 30 years.

We all know what this much global warming pollution will do. Just look at the historic drought drying out rivers and reservoirs across the West. Or the heatwaves baking millions of Americans from coast to coast. Or the fragile ecosystem in Alaska, which is already warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the US.

Thankfully, it’s not too late to stop the Willow Project. BLM is considering a NO DRILL option before its final decision later this year. This is our opportunity to prevent another fossil fuel company from permanently scarring our land.

Tell BLM to stop sacrificing the wellbeing of the planet and its people for Big Oil and pull the plug on the Willow Project.
