TAKE ACTION

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one step closer to being saved. You can help ensure permanent protection.

President Biden gave an Executive Order on the very first day of his presidency to pause oil and gas development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. This is worth celebrating! People from all over the world have supported NGOs and environmental policy groups, contributed to public comments, and written to their representatives to keep the fossil fuel industry out of the Arctic Refuge. But the fight is not over yet. We need President Biden's temporary moratorium to be made permanent. Write a letter or use the one below to add your voice to the call for permanent protection.

1. We will submit a letter on your behalf to President Biden! Fill out the form below to add your message. 

What should you write in your letter? American citizens should ask President Biden to protect their public lands in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Don't forget to include why the Arctic Refuge matters to you (climate, human rights, wildlife etc.)! International citizens should ask the US Government to take bold action and protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to reduce the impacts of climate change globally.

2. Spread the word on social media and ask your friends to help get as many letters as possible directly addressed to President Biden. Copy and paste the link to your social media profile: Https://www.ProtectTheArctic.org/take-action
