    Yesterday the Bureau of Land Management announced their rushed lease sale in the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge kicking off 30 Days of Public Comment before the sale on January 6th.

    These are the sacred lands where life begins - Iizhik Gwats’an Gwandaii Goodlit - and they are NOT FOR SALE.

    We know the Trump Administration is morally corrupt, and is bulldozing through adequate public process before the next administration can step in, and so we are calling on protectors everywhere to make some noise and pressure our elected leaders around the world. Join us for 30 Days of Action to #DefendTheSacred and #ProtectTheArctic!
