Alaska Wilderness League Action

Protecting Alaska's wild lands and waters since 2004. RT ≠ endorsement.

[Alaska Wilderness League Action @AlaskaWildAct]

@EENewsUpdates The party of ‘small government’ sure loves handing things over to private billionaires. Almost like it's never been about freedom...

[Hip Hop Caucus 🏁 @HipHopCaucus]

For years, we've worked alongside @OurArcticRefuge & Iñupiat allies to protect Arctic landscapes from destructive drilling.

We won’t stop now. #ProtectTheArctic ✊🏾

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

Alaska deserves better than this. It's Denali, not McKinley, and we will fight these attempts to take us backwards in the next four years because Alaska's lands and waters are worth it.

Oil production has more than doubled since "drill, baby, drill"—and the only thing it’s doubled is the damage to the planet. Trump and his cronies can celebrate their profits, but the earth’s about to send them the bill. #ClimateCrisis #FossilFool

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

Trump’s drill, baby, drill is a delusional last-ditch attempt to hold onto power through his oil buddies while burning the world down. The only thing he's drilling is his legacy into irrelevance. #Inauguration2025

🚨BREAKING: Trump officially orders a 'national energy emergency.' Also breaking: every single environmental law he’s about to run into. #ProtectTheArctic

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

BREAKING: Trump just signed an executive order unleashing a full-scale assault on Alaska’s public lands—paving the way for Big Oil and logging giants to plunder the Arctic Refuge and beyond. This isn’t policy; it’s a corporate land grab.

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

🎉 HUGE WIN FOR THE ARCTIC REFUGE 🎉 The Arctic Refuge received ZERO bids on lease sales, proving once and for all that drilling here is a losing game. Oil and gas companies know it’s expensive, risky, and bad for business. Together, we’ve sent a clear message: the Refuge is too precious to drill.

AIDEA: Alaska’s taxpayer-funded agency bought most Arctic oil leases in a failed sale under Trump. Meanwhile, BP walked away, calling it a losing game. Why are taxpayers footing the bill for a bad bet? #HoldAIDEAAccountable

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

@GovDunleavy is ready to sacrifice Alaska’s future for big oil. His proposals to lift drilling restrictions in the Arctic Refuge and bulldoze through the Tongass could devastate ecosystems and Indigenous lands. These actions are an attack on the long-term health of Alaska’s people, wildlife, and economy.

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

There’s been a lot happening in the Arctic lately, so as we approach the mandated Arctic Refuge lease sale, here’s a few reminders of what’s at stake & why it’s critical that we #ProtectTheArctic.

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

“Our way of life, our food security and our spiritual well-being is directly tied to the health of the caribou and the health of this irreplaceable landscape,” said Kristen Moreland, executive director of Gwich’in Steering Committee. “Every oil company stayed away from the first lease sale, and we expect them to do the same during the second.” https://t.co/RfV2NurNox

[Arctic Defense Campaign @defendthearctic]

The Biden admin just announced the next steps for the mandated 2nd Arctic Refuge lease sale. Shall we look back on the first?
→ Only 1% of the projected revenue was produced.
→ NO major oil companies showed up 
→ Deeply unpopular w/ the American public.

🚨 BREAKING: President Biden finalizes Record of Decision for Arctic Refuge leasing.

400K acres of sacred land & wildlife habitat are at risk—despite opposition from the Gwich’in Nation, Iñupiat allies, & millions of Americans.

❌ Risks: Irreversible ecosystem destruction.

⚠️ Costs: A failed, costly venture.

💪 Act now: Tell oil companies not to bid. #ProtectTheArctic

[Alaska Wilderness League Action @AlaskaWildAct]

FACT CHECK: Drilling in the Arctic Refuge won’t lower gas prices. Why?
✅ Oil production is slow—10+ years from now isn’t “energy independence.”
✅ Arctic oil won’t make a dent in global markets, where OPEC controls prices.
✅ Renewables are already lowering energy bills nationwide.

On Red Shawl Day, we honor our relatives lost to the crisis of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples, an emergency which impacts Native people across our country. I'm proud of our work with Tribes and survivors to build the solutions we need.

[Alaska Wilderness League @alaskawild]

🚨 Izembek National Wildlife Refuge at Risk! 🚨

The Dept. of the Interior just released a report that could push for a road through protected Wilderness in Izembek—a place vital for wildlife and Alaska Native traditions. This plan bypasses ANILCA, Alaska’s key conservation law, setting a dangerous precedent for public lands.

Honor Alaskans’ voices! A few members of Congress are trying to force the #AmblerRoad forward, overriding voices from the #BrooksRange and across America. Urge Congress to honor all of those who fought to keep this landscape roadless. #NoAmblerRoad #StopAmblerRoad #DefendTheBrooksRange
