Your Signature is Needed: Stop new oil drilling in our oceans

Baby sea turtles are being born on CONTAMINATED BEACHES! Turtle shells evolved to keep these critters safe from predators, not oil spills and offshore drilling rigs. But the Biden administration is preparing to lease MILLIONS MORE acres of our oceans to greedy polluting corporations! These companies make BILLIONS in profits while building noisy offshore drilling developments that release toxic fumes and mess with turtles’ navigation and communication skills. And the oil spills can be FATAL to these endangered critters! Oil and gas corporations have long treated the Gulf South region as a sacrifice zone, extracting its resources and making false promises of economic opportunity. Instead, fossil fuels have poisoned Gulf South residents’ air and water and brought the fear of catastrophic oil spills. President Biden could STOP the sale of our oceans to greedy fossil fuel corporations, but we’re running out of time to tell him to act! [Protect our oceans and Gulf South communities from fossil fuel greed! Add your name by 11:59pm TONIGHT!]( [Sign the petition]( Offshore pipeline leak rates are 10x HIGHER in the Gulf than the national rate. That means this new oil drilling activity in the Gulf has a HIGH CHANCE TO END IN DISASTER. And oil spill fumes can cause respiratory problems and pneumonia for people living nearby. Communities, wildlife, and our planet need your help, Friend. We need President Biden to act before fossil fuel executives get their greedy hands on more of our oceans.
