People Vs Fossil Fuels : Biden Keep Your Promise -
NO New Oil & Gas Leases
Golden Gate Bridge
June 27, 2022
Message to President Biden today at the Golden Gate Bridge, from the organizers -
"The Golden Gate Bridge sits on public land. It’s an iconic example of what public lands – our national parks, forests, wildlife refuges, monuments, and more – are meant to preserve and protect. Yet the Biden administration is allowing for nearly 150K acres of public lands to be sold for oil and gas drilling, which is toxic to our climate and our communities.
President Biden could stop these oil and gas lease sales on our public lands and waters with the stroke of a pen. Join us in calling on Biden to #BanFossilFuelLeasing once and for all, and protect the lands and the waters we love!"
