Oil rigs in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge? NOPE ❌

Your support is so urgently needed that every dollar given by July 31 will be TRIPLED.

MAKE A GIFT TODAY:
Your support will TRIPLE, up to $500,000

Momoko, the administration's "Big, Beautiful Bill" is signed into law—and it's nothing short of devastating for the most vulnerable areas of the Arctic.

The bill mandates at least four oil and gas lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and at least five in the Western Arctic, offering up millions of acres of sacred lands and vital wildlife habitats to fossil fuel companies.

But these iconic landscapes are so much more than untapped profit for corporate interests. They are the source of clean water, food security and cultural heritage for Alaska Native communities who have cared for these lands since time immemorial. They are fragile ecosystems that are home to countless wildlife, including caribou, polar bears and migrating birds from around the globe.

We're ready to fight back against their destructive drilling at every turn—and with your help, we'll do it with everything we've got. Your support at this pivotal moment is so important that a longtime donor has provided $500,000 in matching funds that will TRIPLE every dollar given by midnight on July 31. Will you pitch in today to help us hit our goal of 150 gifts to power our fight for the Arctic and all of our beloved public lands?

Your support can help stop the destruction. Now through July 31, your gift will go 3X as far to power the fight.

 
GIVE NOW
 

This bill is one of the biggest public lands giveaways to the fossil fuel industry in history. But the powerful outcry from Americans from all corners of the country, including supporters like you helped ensure that some of its worst provisions were struck from the final version that Congress passed—including an extreme measure that would have made more than 250 million acres of public lands eligible for sale, including local recreation areas, critical wildlife habitat and beloved roadless forests.

It is proof that when we work together, we can win—even when our opponents have deep pockets, allies doing their dirty work in Congress and an administration eager to let them drill wherever they want with little oversight.

When you make a gift today, your gift will immediately TRIPLE in impact, going three times as far to power our fight to:

  • Protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Western Arctic and other fragile landscapes from drilling and development.
  • Fight back against the administration's "drill first" agenda and hold decision-makers accountable for their reckless attacks on public lands in Alaska and across the country.
  • Defend our bedrock environmental laws from being side-stepped by corporate polluters and their allies in Congress.
  • Block the federal government from selling off our shared public lands to the highest bidder—cutting off our access to beloved wild places and jeopardizing critical wildlife habitats.
 
Triple My Gift
 

The mandate to lease in the Arctic is an outrage, but together, our movement has momentum. We're already fighting back. And we need you with us, Momoko. Please chip in before the July 31 deadline to see your gift TRIPLED, up to $500,000, to fuel the fight ahead of us. Our nation's public lands need you >>
