For more than two decades, the Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres of national forest — including Alaska’s Tongass and Chugach. Yesterday, leaders in Congress stood together to defend it.
But any day now, the Trump administration is expected to roll it back. And once these forests are fragmented by roads and industrial logging, there’s no putting them back together.
Join us in saying: our public lands are not for sale. Because when we stand together, we are stronger than any rollback! #SaveRoadless #nationalforest #defendroadlessrule

Some places can’t be measured in barrels of oil.
The Arctic Refuge is one of them.
But on June 5, the Trump administration plans to open it to oil and gas leasing.
For more than 40 years, Indigenous leaders, scientists, veterans, faith communities, and people across the country have stood together to protect this place. That fight still continues.
You don’t have to live in Alaska to care about what happens here. If you care about wild places and a livable future, this is your fight too.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in northern Alaska is home to caribou, polar bears, migratory birds, Indigenous peoples, and more. This wild landscape is so important to protect due to its fragile flora and fauna, as well as the cultural significance it holds for Indigenous peoples.
That’s why people like Debbie Miller are fiercely fighting for its protection against unnecessary and harmful oil and gas drilling.

The Tongass National Forest and Chugach National Forest are some of the last great roadless forests left in America, and salmon depend on them.
These forests protect the cold, clean rivers and streams that sustain wild salmon runs, wildlife, local communities, and ways of life that have existed for generations.
Roads don’t belong in the heart of salmon habitat.

No matter where you’re from, Alaska’s natural preservation is all of our problem. Get involved!

All memes aside, the Arctic needs our help!
Oil and Gas Lease sale nominations for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge are open through June 3rd.
Drilling is not guaranteed, each company that secures a bid will have to go through a federal permitting process, so now it’s time to apply pressure to Congress.
Arctic drilling won’t lower gas prices at the pump, it will only irreversibly damage one of the last intact ecosystems on earth.
Tell your representatives to pass the Arctic Refuge Protection Act now.

The Porcupine Caribou Herd sustains a way of life that has endured for thousands of years. This summer, the Trump administration is pushing another oil and gas lease sale that would industrialize sacred land to the Gwich'in people, who have asked us to stand with them and say: Stay out of the Arctic Refuge.

Some places should never be up for sale.
The Arctic Refuge is one of them.
On June 5, the Trump administration is moving forward with another oil and gas lease sale in one of the most sensitive wild places left in the country.
We’re fighting back because once these landscapes are handed over to industry, the damage doesn’t stop at the lease sale.
If you believe the Arctic Refuge is worth more than another oil company payout, help fuel the fight. Every dollar donated helps fund the legal, legislative, and public education work needed to defend this sacred place.

You may never stand in the Arctic, but it still reaches you through the birds that move across continents, the water systems that connect ecosystems, the climate shifts we all feel, and the policies written far from where their consequences land.
Right now, decisions made in D.C. are accelerating drilling, mining, and large-scale extraction on public lands that belong to everyone.
And it isn’t just confined to Alaska.
From Minnesota to Wyoming, Montana to Utah, protections are being rolled back across the country, one landscape at a time.
If you’re curious how it all connects, we break it down in our latest blog.
Go beyond your backyard.
From Alaska’s Tongass and Chugach to forests across the country, the Roadless Rule protects what we can’t afford to lose.
Now, it’s under threat again, pushed for repeal by the Trump Administration. If successful, it would open millions of acres of roadless national forests to roadbuilding and industrial logging.
Nearly 60 million acres of some of the most intact wild places left are protected under this rule. These are the headwaters of our clean water, critical wildlife habitat, and landscapes that still function as they should.
This #TongassTuesday, we stand with roadless forests, and the future they protect.
