Dear NRDC Supporter,

In a matter of days, the Trump administration could hand over drilling rights for 688,829 acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to fossil fuel companies.

Unless enough pressure is raised before bids close on June 3.

Will you rush an emergency gift to NRDC before June 3 to help stop this reckless Big Oil handout before it's too late? Your support will be MATCHED $1 - for - $1, but only until June 3.

Right now, oil giants like ConocoPhillips, Exxon, and Shell are in a possible position to bid for access to one of the most fragile places on Earth.

Why?

Because no matter how many climate disasters we endure...
No matter how cherished the Arctic Refuge is...
No matter the damage to local communities and wildlife...

Big Oil always wants more. And this administration is eager to help them cash in.

NRDC is fighting back while we still have time to make an impact.

We're already suing the Trump administration to protect the Arctic Refuge. Now we're raising the pressure on the oil companies that may be preparing to move in to take advantage of this sweeping lease sale.

We're mobilizing public opposition, organizing with community leaders, and making sure these companies know what's at stake.

Because this fight is not over.

Not while more than 3 million NRDC members and activists are ready to speak out and speak loud.

The fossil fuel industry wants people to feel powerless.

But Big Oil has historically stayed out of the Arctic Refuge because they care about backlash. They care about risk. They care when the public is paying attention.

That's why this moment matters.

And it's why your support is so important right now.

Your 2X MATCHED gift today will help defend our environment and power NRDC's legal action, organizing, and advocacy in the critical days before June 3.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge should not become another corporate payoff to the oil industry.

And together, we can make that impossible to ignore.

Sincerely,

Bobby McEnaney
Director, Land Conservation, NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council)
