Friends,

New year, new horrifying anti-environment policy: Donald Trump just announced that his administration will allow offshore drilling in huge swaths of previously protected areas – including more than 1 billion acres in the Arctic, Atlantic and Pacific oceans that have been off limits for decades.

This decision is a gift-wrapped handout to the fossil fuel industry, but it comes at the expense of basically everyone and everything else: coastal residents, the fishing industry and anyone else whose livelihood relies on healthy oceans and strong coastal communities, particularly in states like Rhode Island.

Working families all over the country will pay the price, but Donald Trump doesn’t care. He doesn’t care if fish stocks are decimated. He doesn’t care if pollution from oil rigs renders the beaches that so many communities rely on unusable. That’s why we have to speak out. That’s why I’m saying, “Not on my watch.”

Add your name now to tell Donald Trump: No new offshore drilling!

Thanks,

Sheldon
