Send a message to Congress opposing the Trump administration’s plan to sacrifice marine wildlife in the Gulf to make way for drilling.

The Trump administration’s rarely used Endangered Species Committee, the so-called “God Squad,” illegally convened and unanimously voted to sacrifice endangered marine species that are getting in the way of their plans for expanding oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.
If they’re successful, federally listed species like manatees and endangered sea turtles and whales will be driven further to extinction. And this could set a dangerous pattern, as the Trump administration will not stop at the Gulf.
Tell your members of Congress: Don’t let fossil fuel companies get a free pass to doom endangered wildlife just to advance the Trump administration's drill, baby, drill agenda.
This is the latest in a concerted effort by the administration to help Big Oil billionaires make more money while imperiled wildlife pay the price.
NRDC will sue to keep the “God Squad” in check and reverse this illegal exemption.
And we filed two lawsuits to block the Trump administration’s efforts to expand offshore drilling leases in the Gulf of Mexico.
But we need your help to keep up a massive public outcry defending endangered species that cannot be ignored.
