A bone-thin polar bear lumbers over a splintering ice shelf. She’s desperately searching for food to feed her hungry cubs. A bone-thin polar bear lumbers over a splintering ice shelf. She’s desperately searching for food to feed her hungry cubs. But her hunting grounds are RAPIDLY MELTING! The Arctic is warming FOUR TIMES as fast as the rest of the world, Friend. Indigenous Arctic communities and the wildlife they rely on for sustenance and spiritual health are facing rapidly approaching catastrophe. Extremists in Congress are trying to REVERSE the progress made to protect the Arctic. If Big Oil lobbyists get their way, critical wildlife refuges will be open for greedy polluters to destroy with fossil fuel drilling! The resulting pollution will harm local communities and accelerate the SUPER-HEATING of our planet! [Tell Congress to OPPOSE poison pill legislation that will DESTROY Arctic habitats and harm communities by 11:59pm TONIGHT! >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Right now, 125 million acres of the Arctic Ocean are protected from offshore drilling. Leases to Big Oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge have been canceled. Protections for the LARGEST area of public lands in the country were recently proposed. If these provisions pass, you can kiss that progress goodbye, Friend. The extremists in Congress are trying to attach these dangerous poison pills to a must-pass spending bill. That means even members of Congress who oppose the bad parts of the bill might vote for the whole thing. That’s why we need your help RIGHT NOW before these attacks on the Arctic are solidified! [Friend, will you urge your member of Congress to vote against any attacks on Arctic communities and lands before it’s too late?]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Standing with you, Kayla Mohammed, Federal Policy Advocate, Friends of the Earth Contact Us: Friends of the Earth U.S. Washington, D.C. | Berkeley, CA PO Box 7010 Merrifield, VA 22116-7010 1-877-843-8687 [Contact us](foe.org/about-us/contact/) Email Preferences: [Click here to unsubscribe]( Learn more: www.foe.org/news www.foe.org/about-us www.foeaction.org Connect: [Facebook]( [Twitter]( [Flickr]( © 2024, Friends of the Earth.
