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.
Months later, Trump hasn’t stopped there. He just signed the Republican budget reconciliation bill into law, full of billionaire tax breaks and mandated offshore oil and gas lease sales in the Gulf and along Alaska’s coasts.
The Trump administration is going even farther, working to open all of America’s coasts to drilling and the risk of catastrophic oil spills. Paired with the Trump administration’s rollback of offshore drilling safety regulations, this would spell disaster for coastal communities and offshore workers.
Republicans in Congress and President Trump are sacrificing the health of our communities and our ocean to fund tax cuts for billionaires and corporate polluters, all while increasing our energy prices, polluting our air and water, and adding trillions to the national debt. Join us in the fight to #ProtectOurCoast from offshore drilling.

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.
