Right now, we are fighting for the future of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Trump administration wants to raid the Refuge for oil, but they know that their window of opportunity is closing, so they’re scrambling to sell out the Refuge while they still can. They are aiming to hold a lease sale as early as this December.
Chevron has emerged as a top contender and potential bidder. So let’s take the fight to them and send a resounding message that Arctic drilling is bad business. Join us at the Chevron Richmond Refinery on November 22nd from 10:00 am – 11:30.
The Gwich’in Nation of Alaska and Canada have been leading the fight to protect the Refuge, and they’re asking for widespread support from people in the Lower 48 this fall. We are honored to have four representatives from the Gwich’in Steering Committee leading this action in Richmond. Come join us and learn more about how you can help protect the Arctic Refuge from destructive development.
