Your Signature is Needed: Greedy companies destroying the Arctic

The Arctic is home to polar bears and their adorable cubs. The babies march around, pressing their cute little paws into the snow, stumbling over themselves as they learn to walk, swim, and hunt. But polar bears in the Arctic are being pushed to the brink of DEATH and STARVATION! Their habitat is rapidly melting away – FOUR TIMES faster than the rest of the world! As their hunting grounds disappear, mama bears have nothing to feed their children. The poor little cubs waste away until all that’s left is their tiny pawprints in the melting snow… The Indigenous communities that live in the Arctic have deep connections to the land and its fragile ecosystems. But climate change is DISRUPTING traditional hunting and fishing practices and changing the way of life that many communities have passed down for generations. Greedy oil and gas companies are OUT OF CONTROL with their drilling and fracking! They are ACCELERATING THE CLIMATE CRISIS and pushing our most vulnerable ecosystems to the brink! [Friend, I need your help to convince President Biden to END increased oil and gas activity in the Arctic before more of this critical ecosystem MELTS AWAY for good! Sign our urgent petition now!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Drilling and fracking in the Arctic aren’t just speeding up melting. They also release TOXIC POLLUTANTS that harm local and Indigenous communities. Exposure to fossil fuel pollution has been linked to respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular disease, and cancer! Meanwhile, corporate executives at Big Oil and Gas companies are raking in the dough. The past few years we’ve seen record profits in the BILLIONS for oil and gas companies – profits at the expense of our planet, the Arctic, and the people and wildlife who live there. Without stronger federal protections, fossil fuel extraction in the Arctic will continue. Arctic ice will shrink as the pile of cash owned by corporate executives will keep getting taller. Indigenous communities will see the wildlife they depend on waste away. That’s why we need YOUR help right now, Friend! President Biden can intervene, but we need your help to convince him.
