Action: Write a letter opposing drilling in ANWR (time sensitive)

[starlady]

The Bureau of Land Management is rushing to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. To discourage public input, only mailed-in or hand-delivered comments will be accepted. Comments must be received in Anchorage by December 17.

The Audubon Society has a downloadable letter that you can personalize to send with your own envelope and stamp. There's still plenty of time to make the receipt deadline from anywhere in the States if you send a letter today. Thank you.

ETA: Protect the Arctic estimates that letters need to be sent on or before December 10 to reach Anchorage in time for the deadline.

Bureau of Land Management? Bc that doesn't sound like Black Lives Matter's style.

Hah, you're right.

Thank you for posting this, I’m going to put my letter together this afternoon. Do you happen to know of any tumblr posts with this info that I could reblog as well?

[starlady]

You know, I looked through tumblr and didn't immediately see a post. Protect the Arctic, however, is on Instagram prothearctic and they have a portal where they will convert your comment to a letter that they will send for those who can't send a letter themselves.

Thanks for that link. There is now a tumblr post here, with the Audubon and the Protect the Artic links!
