Oil & gas development in the Arctic Refuge is once again on the table. Don’t miss this piece highlighting the work of Gwich’in Steering Committee & how this would negatively impact her community, traditional ways of living, and culture w/atmos USA & Kate Nelson: atmos.earth/inside-the-deb…








Once again, US Department of the Interior is doubling down on plans to unleash more drilling in the Arctic — putting $$ over Indigenous rights, Alaska's wildlife, and the American public. It’s time for our leaders to step up and #ProtectTheArctic eenews.net/articles/watch…

ICYMI: Secretary Doug Burgum referred to our public lands as “national assets” we can use to pay down national debt... through extractive industries like oil & gas drilling. Truthfully? This will only benefit billionaire oil execs & hurt the American public. eenews.net/articles/burgu…

A federal judge just ruled that AIDEA can keep oil & gas leases in the Arctic Refuge, threatening Alaska Natives’ ways of life, caribou, polar bears, migratory birds & more– while not lowering energy prices. We must continue to fight to #ProtectTheArctic alaskabeacon.com/2025/03/25/ala…



.Gwich’in Steering Committee's Kristen Moreland explains why drilling in the Arctic is not up for debate. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is more than just an iconic wild place – it supports a way of life. We must #StandWithTheGwichin and #ProtectTheArctic from oil & gas development.

"Gimmicks like oil and gas development in the sensitive and fragile Arctic will not balance the budget." Thank you, Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, for fighting to #ProtectTheArctic!

“In the long history of this committee, we’ve never seen a bill this environmentally destructive,” – Rep. Jared Huffman. We need our leaders to pass gov’t funding bills that protect our public lands & #ProtectTheArctic.

Out-of-touch politicians want to give MORE tax cuts to billionaires & are pretending they can use the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to offset the costs. Thank you, Rep. Melanie Stansbury, for setting the record straight & fighting to #ProtectTheArctic!
