Dear Guardian,
President Trump and his Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke, are
trying to silence us, but we’re not going to let that happen.
Sign our petition today and
join millions of others who are speaking out against Trump’s and Zinke’s plans
to liquidate our public lands for fracking.
This month, Trump and Zinke are moving to auction off public
lands throughout the American West to the oil and gas industry. All told, in
Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming, 158,000 acres of OUR
public lands are on the fracking chopping block.
I’m not going to lie to you, our voices won’t sway Trump and
Zinke, who both seem to believe that oil and gas industry profits are more
important than our climate and public lands.
Together, however, our voices will empower resistance,
embolden leaders, and send a powerful message to all that we will not back
down. We can and we will overcome.
We won’t be silenced.
We can’t afford to stay quiet. With our climate, our western wildlife, and our clean energy future at
stake, this is the time to act.
Because right now, Trump and Zinke are trying their damndest
to keep us quiet. As they’re putting our lands on the auction block, they’re
eliminating public comment periods, refusing to share information, and holding
backroom meetings with oil and gas industry executives.
Now, more than ever, we need your voice, sign our petition today!
We will be heard, you can be sure of that. Join us and make
sure that we’re louder than ever as we deliver the message to Trump and Zinke
that it’s time to keep our fossil fuels in the ground.
For the wild,

P.S. We’re
seeing things unfold first hand on the ground here in the American West as
Trump and Zinke steadily moving to exclude the public from their public lands.
It’s shocking, but we are pushing back!
P.P.S. WildEarth Guardians is pushing back against Trump and Zinke harder than
ever in the courtroom, check
out our latest move to shutdown any more attempts to auction off our public
lands for fracking.
