INTERNATIONAL AUDIENCES: Tell your American friends and colleagues to visit our Take Action page to "Call Congress For The Arctic" today! Then email your country's embassy in Washington, DC.
The health of the Arctic Refuge impacts everyone, everywhere! Protecting the Arctic Refuge is NOT only an American issue. Ask your American friends and colleagues, and your Ambassador to the United States, to make rapid protection of the Arctic Refuge an urgent priority.
Does one more phone call really matter?
YES! In the coming weeks, Congress will vote on a Budget Reconciliation. This is a critical opportunity for legislative action to return the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to the protected status it had prior to the 2017 Tax bill. This bill created a drilling program inside the Refuge and mandated two lease sakes for fossil fuel development inside the Refuge by 2024.
President Biden's Day One Executive Order paused Arctic Drilling. But oil companies currently hold drilling leases and the legal mandate to open the Refuge still remains. If Congress does not pass legislation restoring protections, the Arctic Refuge remains under threat. We need to show Congress that Americans want protection for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
