Protect the Arctic Refuge and stand with the Gwich’in

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is a wildlife refuge, not an oil field. Tell your representatives before it’s too late—vote to pass the Arctic Cultural and Coastal Plain Protection Act.

The current administration is proceeding with plans to give oil and gas companies the right to drill in the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge. Drilling will destroy intact wilderness and violate the human rights of the Gwich’in, who rely on this sacred place to sustain their culture and way of life. The Gwich’in are fighting to protect their future, but they can’t win this battle alone.
