Protect‌ ‌the‌ ‌Arctic‌ ‌National‌ ‌Wildlife‌ ‌Refuge‌ ‌from‌ ‌oil‌ ‌&‌ ‌gas‌ ‌development‌

BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66, and all other oil companies

The Arctic Refuge is in northeast Alaska and supports thousands of species- from millions of migratory birds traveling from all fifty states, to the more than 200,000-strong Porcupine caribou herd, to polar bears, wolves, muskoxen, arctic foxes, wolverines, brown bears, golden eagles, tundra swans and snowy owls.

Despite its international and local importance, in 2017 congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which had a provision opening up the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge to oil and gas drilling.

Drilling would be detrimental to the ecosystem and all those, including humans, who depend on it.

That’s why we need to show the oil and gas companies that the majority of people oppose drilling in the Arctic Refuge.

Some places are too sacred to sacrifice for a little more oil. So, we are calling on BP, Shell, Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66, and all other oil companies to not to bid on any oil leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
