EARTH DAY 5X MATCH CHALLENGE
Until midnight, your support goes 5X as far to protect vital landscapes like the Arctic.
Donate now and make 5X the impact!

Dear Peter,

The Arctic is one of the last places on earth where oil and gas drilling should take place. There, temperatures are already rising two to four times faster than the rest of the planet. With climate change devastating landscapes and communities here and throughout our country, it’s never been more urgent to end our dependence on fossil fuels.

And yet, the Arctic is on the verge of being ripped open and ravaged for the sake of oil and gas company profits.

We simply cannot let this happen—and we need your help to stop it. Make a gift this Earth Day to help defend the Arctic and other irreplaceable public lands—every dollar you give will be MATCHED 5X by a generous supporter, up to $500,000!

Protecting the Arctic is one of The Wilderness Society’s top priorities for the year ahead. Our multi-pronged approach includes:

• Fighting to stop the Willow Project in the Western Arctic. This huge oil-development project by ConocoPhillips was approved by the Biden administration last month and is estimated to release more than 280 million metric tons of greenhouse gas over a 30-year period. The Wilderness Society is suing the administration over its decision—but we need your help to stand strong against ConocoPhillips, a profit-hungry fossil fuel company with deep pockets, to make sure the Willow Project never gets going >>
• Advocating against lease sales in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Following the leadership of our Indigenous partners, we’re advocating that the Biden administration cancel the remaining oil and gas leases that the Trump administration issued in the refuge after flawed and inadequate analysis of the negative impacts. Donate now and do 5X as much to support this work >>
• Applying pressure on major insurance companies—like Liberty Mutual—to make sure they don’t back drilling in the Arctic Refuge. Until Earth Day ends, every $1 you pitch in has the impact of $5 to keep these efforts going strong >>
• Advancing national legislation to permanently protect the Arctic Refuge from the threat of drilling. We cannot do this without you—don’t miss your chance to make a gift with 5X the impact >>

None of it is possible without Wilderness Society supporters like you—and right now, your support goes 5X as far. This Earth Day, we hope you’ll join us and take the 5X Match Challenge before it’s too late to help protect vital landscapes like the Arctic.

Thank you for your support.
