Tell Congress to Stop Trump’s Plan to Drill in the Pristine Waters and Lands of the Arctic

In a moment where renewables are becoming cheaper than fossil fuels and reducing our carbon footprint, the Trump administration is going the wrong direction. They’re attempting to halt them and regress previous progress by dramatically boosting oil production through their “drill baby drill” policy, including a proposed plan to sell off public lands of Alaska in the northern Arctic.

These remote Arctic lands are so pristine that these lands have never seen industrialization, and no company has ever drilled for oil in the “icy high Arctic,” so it would require development of the precious lands to implement the oil infrastructure.

Please join the Alliance in signing this Earth Justice letter to Congress demanding our public lands belong to us and not fossil fuel companies and that we must protect them to protect the Arctic and American people.

Let the Public Know the Impacts of AI Data Centers — Stop Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly expanding technology that is affecting nearly every aspect of our everyday lives. Massive, football field-length AI data centers are rapidly being built nationwide to meet demand. However, there are serious energy, environmental, health and even economic threats from these centers that are being masked by a troubling lack of transparency with the public that must be addressed.

In too many cases, the companies developing data centers are requiring local officials to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) preventing transparency about what exactly is being built and its impacts, despite centers often being built in proximity to our neighborhoods.

Please join the Alliance in signing this MCEA letter telling your legislators and Governor Walz to forbid the use of NDAs to cover up data center development.
