Tell your Congress members not to allow our public wild places to become Trump's gift to the fossil fuel industry


Last week proved one of the worst weeks for wilderness since Trump took office. We must defend against this massive sellout of our lands and waters. Click to call your Congress members to tell them not to allow our public wild places to become Trump's gift to the fossil fuel industry.

On April 26, Trump signed an order that paves the way for stripping protections for any of America’s national monuments designated since 1996.

That same week, Trump signed an illegal order to reverse restrictions on drilling in sensitive waters in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.


Meanwhile, Congress is working to reverse more pollution protections, while the Senate has launched efforts to open one of America’s wildest places, the pristine Arctic Refuge, to dirty oil development.

It’s time to fight back! Please click here to call your Congress members and ask them to:
Respect America’s love for public wildlands by not supporting legislation that sells out our national monuments or wildlife refuges to oil and gas interests.

Vote no on any measures to weaken pollution and climate change protections.
