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…

Imagine the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge being drilled by Big Oil. That's exactly what's at stake under the Trump administration. More on this: americanprogress.org/article/trump-…

This obsession with fossil fuel extraction is unpopular & out of date. Investors and banks continue to move away from the industry & toward renewable energy, and the rest of the world is following suit. When will the Trump administration recognize this? bbc.com/news/articles/…

🚨 Congress is considering selling out the Arctic Refuge to Big Oil. It’s too risky, too expensive, and too outdated. Tell your lawmakers: STOP this scam. #ProtectTheArctic #StopBigOil secure.alaskawild.org/a/adsrefugetax…

Trump's Interior Department just took the first steps to hand over up to 19M acres of Arctic landscapes to Big Oil CEOs. We stand with the Gwich’in and Alaska Natives in opposing these actions. We must stop the giveaway and preserve our public lands. sierraclub.org/press-releases…

Same old recycled playbook, same reckless giveaways. Interior is once again prioritizing Big Oil over Indigenous rights, public input, and Alaska’s lands. Read our full statement: alaskawild.org/blog/alaska-wi… #ProtectTheArctic #StopBigOil

Trump is handing Big Oil a blank check while we pay the price—with higher costs, lost clean energy jobs, and toxic air and water. Our health, safety, and savings mean nothing to him next to their profits.

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…

Thank you, Ed Markey & Rep. Jared Huffman for reintroducing the Arctic Refuge Protection Act! This critical legislation would protect the Gwich’in and the world’s largest national wildlife refuge. #ProtectTheArctic

.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!
