Urge the Biden administration to end new oil and gas leasing on our public lands and waters!

Drilling on public lands decimates habitats, contaminates water, and accelerates the climate crisis. And the only ones reaping any benefits from such destruction are fossil fuel barons. Your public lands are being sacrificed for dirty energy profits.

We must end this extractive economy and replace it with a regenerative one that prioritizes people and the planet over profit. That mission starts with a commitment from President Biden to BAN NEW LEASES to fossil fuel corporations.

President Biden & Secretary Haaland,

The latest United Nations climate report couldn’t be more clear; the next few years will determine the collective future for all life on this planet.

To avoid the most cataclysmic effects of climate change and the acceleration of wildlife extinctions, global greenhouse gas emissions must hit their final peak by 2025 -- and then swiftly drop.

Increasing floods, fires, heat waves, storms, and droughts are already impacting Americans, our infrastructure, our food supply, and our national security.

As communities impacted by the current climate crisis, we are calling on you to take action and stop all drilling and mining for fossil fuels now.

We’re deeply troubled by your plans to expand federal fossil fuel leasing both offshore and on our public lands. You are putting your foot on the gas and driving us headfirst toward climate catastrophe. And you’re sacrificing Indigenous, Black, low-wealth communities, and communities of the global majority of color first who are already facing the disproportionate impacts of pollution and climate chaos.

Any expansion of fossil fuel production now is a denial of science, a breach of your promise, a betrayal of frontline communities – and a death sentence for people and wildlife.

You must reverse course. Existing law gives you the authority to lead bravely and boldly, with the stroke of your pen.

One of the most significant steps you can take is to begin a managed decline of fossil fuel production on our federal lands and waters.  
We call on you to start now by banning new federal fossil fuel leases.

This step alone will reduce carbon emissions by 280 million tons per year.

We urge you to do absolutely everything in your power to address the climate emergency, starting with ending new federal fossil fuel leases. Life, as we know it, cannot endure your leasing climate bomb.

Sincerely,
