Seismic testing in the Arctic Refuge would be destructive, deadly, and a bad investment. Companies will kill polar bears, threaten Indigenous communities, and demolish fragile tundra. Tell oil and gas developers: stay out of the Arctic Refuge: defendthearctic.org/act/take-act...

Congress just voted to finalize the harmful budget bill, mandating oil and gas leases in the Arctic and putting public lands into the hands of oil and gas corporations. We stand with clients and partners to continue to defend sacred lands in the years to come. #ProtectTheArctic

Today, Interior announced plans to strip protections from millions of acres in the Western Arctic, paving the way for drilling. This move threatens ecosystems, subsistence traditions, and local communities, all for the benefit of special interests. We will continue to fight to #ProtectTheArctic

Yesterday, Trustees on behalf of The Gwich’in Steering Committee and a dozen other groups appealed a court ruling that lets AIDEA hold onto illegal oil leases in the Arctic Refuge. The fight to protect these sacred lands will continue in court.

Last Tuesday, House Republicans advanced one of the worst environmental bills ever.

Out-of-touch politicians want to give more tax cuts to billionaires & are pretending they can use the Arctic Refuge to offset the cost. Thank you @Rep_Stansbury, for standing up. #ProtectheArctic

Reintroducing the Arctic Refuge Protection Act is a vital step to honor the Gwich’in, protect the Porcupine caribou, and preserve this land. We are glad to see leaders like @markey.senate.gov & @rephuffman.bsky.social standing up to #ProtectTheArctic w/ members of the Gwich'in Steering Committee.

Who knew ducks could be so stylish? Take a look at Alaska's king eiders! Known for their colorful plumage, these sea ducks travel thousands to nest on the Arctic Refuge coastal plain.

While some @natresources.bsky.social electeds try to rewrite history + push for more leasing in the Arctic Refuge, Megan Gibson with @selc.bsky.social sets the record straight. Recent lease sales in the Refuge failed miserably, costing taxpayers & threatening this special place. #ProtectTheArctic
