We Demand a Future Without Fossil Fuels

The Trump administration is barreling ahead with dangerous plans to sell off rights to even more spectacular public lands to the fossil fuel industry — and they’re using the worst public health crisis in a century as cover. If we don’t stop them, they’ll not only destroy more of our last remaining wild places — they’ll further imperil our public health and shackle us to even more climate-destroying fossil fuels for decades to come.

Send your letter of protest to Interior Secretary David Bernhardt and demand an end to this reckless assault on our environment today!

The Trump administration is barreling ahead with dangerous plans to sell off the rights to even more spectacular public lands to the fossil fuel industry — and they’re using the worst public health crisis in a century as cover. If we don’t stop them, they’ll continue to destroy our last remaining wild places and further imperil public health by shackling us to even more climate-destroying fossil fuels for decades to come. Demand that they end this reckless assault on our environment today!

Dear Secretary Bernhardt:

As people in the U.S. and around the world suffer through the worst public health crisis in a century, your department is barreling ahead with dangerous plans to sell off rights to more of our spectacular public lands at rock bottom prices to oil, gas, and coal companies.

Ramping up fossil fuel production on our shared public estate will destroy more of our last remaining wild places, drive more climate chaos, and further imperil our health -- especially in rural communities closest to fossil fuel production and in the communities of color who overwhelmingly live near the refineries and power plants that burn these toxic fuels and pollute the air.

I'm joining with millions of my fellow citizens in demanding that you take immediate steps to close public lands and coastal waters to climate-destroying energy development. I object to any attempt by your agency to exercise extraordinary emergency powers and speed up oil and gas development on public estate. Furthermore, I'm calling on you to deny all requests from fossil fuel companies to reduce the royalties they owe us on current operations, which would deprive people in the U.S. of vitally needed revenue during this devastating crisis.

If you fail in your duty to put our shared public lands -- and human health -- ahead of polluter profits, I will stand with NRDC, in and out of court, to challenge and turn back this reckless assault on our environment.
