Oil drilling in the Arctic Refuge could start this winter—threatening one of Alaska’s most vital lands. AIDEA is pushing this reckless plan with public funds, ignoring Alaskans, Indigenous voices & the climate crisis. alaskabeacon.com/briefs/arcti...

Last Tuesday, House Republicans advanced one of the worst environmental bills ever. Out-of-touch politicians want to give more tax cuts to billionaires & are pretending they can use the Arctic Refuge to offset the cost. Thank you @Rep_Stansbury, for standing up. #ProtectheArctic

Everything about this Reconciliation bill in Natural Resources is a total lie. It’s bad for our: - Economy - Environment - Communities That’s why we’re prepared to sit here all day and fight it every step of the way.

Reintroducing the Arctic Refuge Protection Act is a vital step to honor the Gwich’in, protect the Porcupine caribou, and preserve this land. We are glad to see leaders like @markey.senate.gov & @rephuffman.bsky.social standing up to #ProtectTheArctic w/ members of the Gwich'in Steering Committee.

While some @natresources.bsky.social electeds try to rewrite history + push for more leasing in the Arctic Refuge, Megan Gibson with @selc.bsky.social sets the record straight. Recent lease sales in the Refuge failed miserably, costing taxpayers & threatening this special place. #ProtectTheArctic
