Stand up to offshore drilling

A federal proposal to open waters off California, off Alaska, and in parts of the Gulf of Mexico to new offshore drilling is currently under consideration. You can have a huge impact on whether this proposal moves forward.

Please stand with us and say “no” to the Trump administration’s proposed five-year plan to sell leases for new drilling projects beginning in 2027. We’ve gathered the information and links you need to take action right now:

• Submit a public comment opposing the federal offshore drilling proposal by Friday, January 23, 2026.
• Contact your U.S. representative and senators to express your opposition and urge them to do the same.

When communities speak up, offshore drilling stops

Communities have stopped offshore drilling before. By working together, we can do it again. Since the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, West Coast communities have repeatedly blocked offshore drilling proposals. Along the East Coast, widespread opposition stopped the Trump administration’s offshore drilling proposal during his first term. In Florida, strong community opposition has kept much of the eastern gulf off-limits. Alaska’s Bristol Bay was permanently protected from offshore exploration and drilling thanks to the determination and leadership of Alaska Tribal Nations, the fishing industry, community members, and businesses. These victories happened because people spoke up and stayed engaged.
