Tell Biden: Shut Down The Willow Project

The Willow Project is Big Polluter's 30-year plan to drill in sensitive Alaskan ecosystems near Indigenous communities. It would unleash devastating levels of pollution and directly undermine Biden's climate goals.

We've rallied our community to send in public comments against this massive environmental injustice. Now that the public comment period is over, it's time for the Biden administration to make its final decision.

Sign and send a letter telling President Biden to deny the Willow Project permit right now!

Dear President Biden,

Under your leadership, the U.S. continues to make historic progress on the climate crisis. Your bold target of achieving a 50-52 percent reduction in greenhouse gas pollution by 2030 will shape our future for the better, and your support for the Inflation Reduction Act is already leading to real, material benefits for our communities.

Unfortunately, ConocoPhillips' Willow Project in Alaska directly undermines these critical climate goals.

Your own Interior Department says the project would release 278 million metric tons or more of greenhouse gas pollution over 30 years. That is a devastating addition to our rapidly warming climate. The project would also endanger the health and food security of Alaska Native communities, and threaten a fragile local ecosystem.

Extracting hundreds of millions of barrels of oil in Alaska puts us at risk of baking in higher temperatures at the exact time when scientists have found that we need to urgently phase out fossil fuels. It also runs counter to the rapid transition to affordable clean energy that is already underway in the U.S., thanks in part to your unflagging support for the climate provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act. 

At the same time, it would do nothing to counter the high gas prices hurting Americans at the pump. The volatility of fossil fuel prices will continue to hurt Americans until we fully transition to affordable clean energy. We should be working to accelerate that transition by implementing the investments in the IRA–and stop furthering our dependence on dangerous fossil fuels.

I strongly urge you to direct the Department of the Interior and Bureau of Land Management to deny the Willow Project permit. 

Thank you for your time and attention to this important matter.
