Offshore Drilling
Every offshore oil spill began with a lease sale.
Offshore drilling poses huge risks to the health of communities, workers, wildlife, and the climate. That’s why community-led organizations in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska, along with allied national environmental organizations, are united in their call to elected officials:
Protect Our Coast from Offshore Drilling
Most voters do not want to expand offshore drilling
On his first day in office, President Trump issued a series of executive orders filled with giveaways to the fossil fuel industry and attacks on air, water, and environmental protections.
One executive order seeks to rescind major protections from future oil and gas leasing in more than 625 million acres of the Atlantic, Eastern Gulf, Pacific and Northern Bering Sea.
Trump’s “Drill, Baby, Drill” agenda threatens our communities, wildlife, oceans, and climate with mandated leasing and fast-tracked projects – despite oil and gas production already at record highs and the increase in availability of renewable energy sources.

If President Trump wants to provide Americans with the cleanest air and cleanest water,
as he promised to do on the campaign trail, then he should protect our coasts from offshore oil and gas drilling. We need decisionmakers nationwide to hold him accountable and stand up together to protect our coasts.
