Thank you @SenSchumer for supporting the suspension of oil and gas leases in the Arctic Refuge.

Now, it’s time for Congress to revoke the law that mandated the leasing and permanently #ProtectTheArctic!

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

I fought to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and stop the Trump administration’s plan for drilling

I am proud to see the Biden administration reverse this Trump-era plan

We must fight to preserve America’s wild places for future generations

Thank you @SenatorCantwell for supporting the suspension of oil and gas leases in the Arctic Refuge.

It’s time for Congress to revoke the law that mandated the leasing and permanently #ProtectTheArctic!

[Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell]

Now it is up to Congress to permanently protect this irreplaceable million-year-old ecosystem and facilitate new economic opportunities based on preserving America’s pristine public lands for outdoor recreation. (2/2)

[NRDC Gov't Affairs @NRDCFedGov]

Thank you @RonWyden for supporting the suspension of oil and gas leases in the Arctic Refuge!

Now, it’s time to revoke the law that mandated the leasing and permanently #ProtectTheArctic.

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

I commend the Biden administration for taking swift action to safeguard our nation's most treasured outdoor spaces. I look forward to the work ahead to protect our public lands for generations to come.

.@MoveLATransit is highlighting how transit supports their communities, giving actual riders the microphone, and working to ensure Congress’ federal relief package mirrors local priorities.

[Move LA Transit @MoveLATransit]

Mayor Garcetti: "A moment of reimagination we have to say transit matters, there has to be a focus of building public transportation" @MayorOfLA #TransitIsTheFuture #SaveTransit

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

This action is long overdue, but the threat of mining hasn’t ended. EPA must issue a veto and provide lasting protections for #BristolBay and communities that depend on its waters.

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

The Army Corps of Engineers has taken a critical step to #StopPebbleMine by denying a permit for the proposed extraction project - acknowledging the overwhelming risks to the people, wildlife, and fish that depend upon the Bristol Bay watershed. https://t.co/6ct7yLZpfN

[NRDC Gov't Affairs @NRDCFedGov]

In the midst of a record-breaking hurricane season, @nrdc joins 30+ organizations in support of a bipartisan bill by @RepDavidEPrice @RepLeeZeldin to help protect communities from floods and save taxpayer dollars through reduced recovery costs: https://t.co/nsxYnZfcMU

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

These are serious allegations. There needs to be an investigation. Lying to Congress is a serious crime.

[NRDC Gov't Affairs @NRDCFedGov]

COVID relief is essential to #SaveJobs #SaveTransit #SaveSchools #SaveLives. It’s also one of the best tools to cut carbon from transportation. Let’s save our economy and our planet. Pass $32 billion for transit now!

Thank you @SenatorTomUdall for introducing Dutch Salmon Greater Gila Wild and Scenic River Act to protect the Gila River, one of the largest undammed headwater watersheds in North America. https://t.co/1GjNORuWQs

[NRDC Gov't Affairs @NRDCFedGov]

.@SenKamalaHarris & @DoloresHuerta on the urgent action needed from Congress to #ProtectCleanWater access:

👉 National moratorium on water shutoffs.
👉 Invest in water infrastructure, especially in frontline communities.

@SenKamalaHarris & @DoloresHuerta on why we must integrate water justice into the country’s response to COVID-19 and economic recovery #ProtectCleanWater https://t.co/6SLKDKmqXo

- Las Vegas ready to break @NWSVegas record of consecutive days over 100F

Thank you @GovSisolak for @NevClimate! #NevClimateAction

Everyday Americans are focused on the #COVID19 pandemic & economic crisis.

But @SecBernhardt is focused on drilling in one of the world’s last truly wild places. This is another reckless, destructive decision from the Trump administration. https://t.co/TyPa8WdkDq

[Rep. Jared Huffman @RepHuffman]

Trump and his industry cronies are escalating the assault on the #ANWR. This rushed, flawed plan to open drilling will do irreparable harm native species and peoples. We won’t stop our fight to #ProtectTheArctic. https://t.co/EMwofyH57F

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

Gutting #NEPA is environmental racism. We refuse to allow the Trump administration to silence us—especially the voices of color who are disproportionately targeted by hazardous projects in their communities. #ProtectYourVoice https://t.co/s7glGQco3c

[NRDC 🌎🏡 @NRDC]

BREAKING: Environmental Justice Health Alliance, @NJEJAlliance, @tejasbarrios, @EYCEJ, @CCAEJ, @audubonsociety, @SierraClub, @NYCLU & @NRDC are suing to protect #NEPA, the law that ensures people have a say about polluting projects in their communities. https://t.co/lbafmJBq2y

[NRDC Gov't Affairs @NRDCFedGov]

🗣 @SenatorDurbin & other Senators are calling on @SecBernhardt to cancel upcoming oil & gas lease sale and #ProtectMoab! Low demand for oil during #COVID19 means leasing oil & gas on #PublicLands is even more unnecessary. Learn more about lands & climate: https://t.co/54tAwYIKI1

Thank you @SenatorTomUdall and @RepJoeNeguse for leading with this bold bill to reign in toxic pesticides, and protect America's children, farmworkers and their families, and pollinators like bees and monarch butterflies! Bravo! #PACTPA

[Archive: Senator Tom Udall @SenatorTomUdall]

Today we are introducing the Protect America’s Children From Toxic Pesticides Act, #PACTPA. This is a bill to protect our children, farmworkers, communities and wildlife from dangerous chemicals. Proud to lead the way on the first real reform to our pesticide laws in 25 years.
