Rolling back protections in the Tongass? ๐Ÿ™… NO WAY [5X Match]

Act fast—this 5X match ends at midnight tonight!
ALTTEXT.

Momoko, many of the lands that define our nation's wild legacy are under attack, from Alaska's towering forests to Arizona's magnificent deserts.

Right now, the administration and its allies in Congress are working to strip critical protections from our shared public lands and privatize, transfer or otherwise sell off millions of acres—sacrificing the clean air, water and thriving ecosystems that future generations deserve so that billionaires and multinational corporations can profit in the short-term instead.

This Giving Tuesday, we need all hands on deck to protect these cherished cultural landmarks and vital wildlife habitats. Thanks to a generous donor, your gift to defend public lands will have FIVE TIMES the impact to protect crucial landscapes like:

  • The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge: Oil and gas development is being forced through without the consent of the people it will affect the most—the local Indigenous communities that depend on a clean, healthy Arctic Refuge to sustain their cultures and ways of life—threatening the heart of one of the last large intact ecosystems on Earth.
  • The Tongass National Forest: Plans are underway to rescind the Roadless Rule, stripping protections from nearly 45 million acres of national forests, including 9 million acres of old-growth forests in the Tongass.
  • The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness: The administration plans to revoke a mining ban, endangering the headwaters of one of America's most-visited wilderness areas.
  • National Monuments: Bills were recently introduced in Congress to abolish Arizona's Ironwood Forest and Baaj Nwaavjo I'tah Kukveni-Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon national monuments—ancestral homelands of the Tohono O'odam, Havasupai and other Tribes. Meanwhile, the administration has signaled its intent to go after existing monuments.

These are direct attacks on our nation's heritage. They threaten the communities and wildlife that depend on these landscapes—and our very freedom to explore and connect with them.

But there's still hope: until midnight every dollar you give goes FIVE TIMES AS FAR to defend these irreplaceable lands—in the courts, in Congress and in communities nationwide >>
