Dear Andy,
A polar bear family reaches the edge of the ice. With no food in sight, they face a choice: swim or starve.
Weak from hunger, the cubs aren't prepared for a grueling swim. Sometimes, it takes DAYS to reach stable ice again. But mom has no choice – if they stay, they starve. She must risk losing her cubs to the current if they want a shot at survival.
Andy, this cruel choice is playing out in the Arctic as you read this email. As their icy habitats melt away and their food sources dwindle, polar bears are hanging on by a thread – and too many mothers are forced to helplessly watch their cubs DROWN as a result. Now, Trump plans to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for more drilling – threatening to doom more polar bear families to this tragic fate and even wipe them out for good! Fight back now and donate $15 towards our $4,500 midnight goal to protect the Arctic, polar bears, and the planet!
The Arctic is already a fragile landscape, Andy. It’s warming 4 TIMES faster than the rest of the world. But Trump still wants to open up the Arctic to giant “thumper trucks” that can CRUSH polar bears in their dens – all for the sake of profit! With polar bears and the Arctic hanging on by a thread, there’s no time to waste: will you stand with us today and fight back?

Andy, as if the situation wasn’t dire enough, it could soon get worse. If Trump’s drilling plans continue, they will DESTROY vital polar bear habitats that we should be PROTECTING instead of EXPLOITING!
Increased fossil fuel activity in the Arctic could be disastrous. We could see:
90,000 pound trucks INVADING polar bear habitat and CRUSHING nursing cubs in their dens. The few ice patches polar bears rely on to survive DESTROYED and melted away. The food sources that polar bears already struggle to find DECIMATED, pushing them further into starvation. Widespread pollution SMOTHERING nearby communities, leaving people struggling to maintain their livelihoods.
At Friends of the Earth, we won’t accept this as our reality. We’re working as hard as we can to STOP Trump’s deadly drilling plans, protect vulnerable wildlife, and secure a future where our planet thrives. But we rely on support from members like you to make wins happen – and polar bears need you now more than ever. Supporters like you are already urging the Department of Interior to cancel these LETHAL plans for the Arctic – will you take the next step with your donation today?
