ALASKA WILDERNESS LEAGUE ACTION
COMPARING THE CANDIDATES
The Biden-Harris administration has set a new standard for climate leadership, pushing forward bold policies that are driving down carbon emissions and putting us on track toward a sustainable future. Their historic climate legislation is a game-changer in the fight against the climate crisis. On the other hand, former President Trump has not only denied the reality of climate change but doubled down on a pro-fossil fuel agenda. Learn more about the difference between the Harris and Trump platforms here.
Featured Action: SUPPORT THE ARCTIC REFUGE PROTECTION ACT
In 2017, Congress and the Trump administration reversed more than 60 years of bipartisan protections for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by voting to open it to oil and gas development. By making oil and gas a purpose of a national wildlife refuge for the first time in history, a dangerous precedent for reversing public land protections was established that could impact wild places nationwide.
Take action: Urge your member of congress to co-sponsor the Arctic Refuge Protection Act
Please note: Alaska Wilderness League Action engages in legislative and political advocacy to protect Alaska’s wild places. Visit the website of our sister organization, Alaska Wilderness League, to learn more about that organization’s education and advocacy to protect Alaska.
