Fiercely Defending Alaska. ⛰️🌲🌊🐻

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

We're grateful for champions like @RepRaulRuizMD who fight for the Arctic Refuge. The Gwich'in people, the wildlife, and the land deserve protection, now more than ever. #ProtectTheArctic

Yesterday, Sen. Lee slipped a last-minute amendment into a wildfire bill to permanently gut the Roadless Rule — literally called "Roadless Rule Nullification." 99% of Americans support the Roadless Rule, but I guess Sen. Lee didn't get the memo.

Thank you @SenatorHeinrich for fighting back. 👏

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

Senate Republicans created a Trojan Horse to repeal the Roadless Rule. We need to raise our voices to push back!

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

🚨 Today, Sen. Mike Lee’s amendment to repeal the Roadless Rule passed the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee.

The fight to protect our national forests is not over. We can still take action by telling Congress: Keep the Roadless Rule in place. 🌲https://t.co/TUHYpCdYal

@adamfederman @lisamurkowski Trump spent more painting the Reflecting Pool blue than what this lease sale brought in 😂

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

Any day now, the Trump administration could move to roll back the Roadless Rule, opening the door to new roads in some of the last intact national forests.

Some places only stay wild if we choose to keep them that way. Help us keep our forests roadless 🌲https://t.co/v8gg04GKeH

Thank you, @RepHuffman! The Arctic Refuge is not Trump's piggy bank for billionaire tax breaks. 👏

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

What a fiasco. Trump tried to use the Arctic as a piggy bank to pay for billionaire tax breaks, and it didn’t work. Stop trying to auction off sacred public lands 👏👏👏 https://t.co/Lz1A3uJj6N

No major oil companies even bid on last week's Arctic Refuge lease sale. Yet here we are again. This landscape deserves permanent protection, not an endless cycle of auctions. #protectthearctic

A press release with two caribou photos ≠ science.

[Adam Federman @adamfederman]

In its press release on the refuge lease sale, AIDEA includes two photos of caribou near oil/gas infrastructure, suggesting that there are few if any impacts on the ungulates. Recent research, however, shows that roads, pipelines, & wells all negatively affect caribou migration.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Trump's lease sale in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is just another cash grab. The Arctic Refuge's ecologically & culturally significant public lands must be protected from Trump's disastrous business plans. https://t.co/elvTqcvksw

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

Thank you @Rep_Stansbury 👏 The industry has made it clear AGAIN they don't want it, and yet here we are.

We need permanent protection, not another lease sale. ✊

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Protect the sacred! Donald Trump is trying to auction off nearly 700,000 acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling right now.

Whether it’s Chaco Canyon, Oak Flat, or the Arctic—we stand with Tribal Nations and our communities in the fight to protect sacred and public lands. These lands are not for sale! ✊

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

@TimothyELewis Yes, thank you so much! You can donate via our website https://t.co/T5QgIdXgcQ

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

Make no mistake, although today’s lease sale has fallen far short of this administration's promises, the Arctic Refuge was still put on the auction block.

We aren't done. We won't rest until there are NO leases in the Arctic Refuge. #ProtectTheArctic

@SenatorCantwell Thank you @SenatorCantwell 👏 We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

The work isn’t until the Arctic Refuge is protected for GOOD.

[Environmental Action @EnviroAction]

Some good news from the Arctic Refuge:

https://t.co/gPqeIYbJrg

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

🚨 BREAKING: For the third consecutive time, the Arctic Refuge lease sale has failed to generate real industry interest. No major oil companies. No credible path to the revenue this administration promised.

When will this administration stop gambling with one of the most sacred landscapes on earth for a return that has never materialized, and never will?

https://t.co/cUXapP8b1S

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

Once a failure, always a failure. Three Arctic Refuge lease sales and the only "interest" comes from AIDEA, a state development authority, not even a real oil company.

This administration bent over backwards for Big Oil, and Big Oil still didn't show up. The joke writes itself.
