Don't Let Trump Wreck Our Coasts

Donald Trump recently signed an executive order lifting a ban on offshore drilling. He's apparently forgotten the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster. But we haven't.

We've seen the devastating impact of oil spills and leaks from offshore drilling -- immense harm to marine life, people's health, coastal tourism and the fishing industry.

And we're calling on you to protect our oceans, climate, and coastal communities by passing the COAST Anti-Drilling Act to block oil and gas drilling on the Atlantic Coast.

Why is this important?

Donald Trump issued an executive order to open up our coastlines to oil and gas drilling. We can't let him do it.


We all remember the horrifying images from the BP Deepwater Horizon disaster in 2010. Seven years later, wildlife and communities on the Gulf coast are still feeling the impacts.

Let's make sure that never happens again.

Offshore oil and gas drilling risks immense harm to marine life, public health, and coastal tourism and fishing economies. And spills, leaks, and explosions WILL happen if we continue to pursue offshore oil and gas.

It would also lock us into decades more of fossil fuel reliance, something our climate and communities cannot afford.

What we need is a permanent ban on ALL oil and gas exploration, development, and production off the coasts of the United States. And that starts with passing the Clean Ocean and Safe Tourism (COAST) Anti-Drilling Act to block oil and gas drilling on the Atlantic Coast.

Tell Congress to pass the COAST Anti-Drilling Act to protect our beaches, oceans, wildlife, and coastal communities!
