This morning, the Biden Administration approved ConocoPhillips' disastrous oil and gas project in Alaska. The "Willow Project" is one of the largest proposed new oil operations on public
land in the United States and would emit 76 coal plants' worth of carbon pollution into the atmosphere. Despite this disappointing decision, our work is not over. We need to make it
clear to Biden that decisions like this are unacceptable.
Tell President Biden that we need bold climate solutions, not more oil projects on public land! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=4dfd207211837931a92cd5a796c47496f4212164ed041ffc1a6373e7ae3f85e

Take Action! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=625380797882761673884e49a172f2ae5be1ee593ab8c771b35adb1eb1807ff68cab80ad19f788de03df2bf28f3232832f462697127b905a>
Dear John,
I was enraged to read that the Biden Administration approved ConocoPhillips' Willow Project this morning. The harmful effects of this decision cannot be overstated. This project has
the potential to entirely undo the clean energy progress we've made, lock us into fossil fuel drilling for another 30 years, and threaten the communities and wildlife who rely on these
Alaskan landscapes.
I want to thank you for the incredible work you've done to oppose this project. Moments like these are hard to take, but we're not done. We will not stop working to protect our public
lands from harmful oil and gas projects, and we want to make sure our president hears that loud and clear. That is why we are sending messages to President Biden telling him to speed
up our transition to clean energy instead of doubling-down on oil and gas. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=6c7f9581920941e5e79de56648661026bed67f2fee8bc1ed44a41498f7653dcc95ec525a800e841a5eb

The momentum behind this campaign has been inspiring. Over the past month alone we saw the #StopWillow campaign accumulate over 630 million social media views and generate over 5.6 million
comments to federal decision makers. The approval of Willow by the Biden Administration flies in the face of clear nationwide opposition and the President's own climate goals.
We must continue to make it clear to President Biden that we cannot drill our way to a sustainable future. We must conserve our public lands, not sell them off to corporate polluters.

Thank you for being part of this tremendous effort. Days like this can be dispiriting, but we can and must keep pushing forward. Send your personal message to President Biden today to
remind him that we need him to be a climate hero. <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=507c79451688371e51d7aa01bf0dec01e26543ac77b628051caf9a2a534339b7391e7d51f929c6598282cd28005053f2142e806a6be2
