Call to Action Stop President Bush's Plan to Drill for Oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

SUPPORT THE GWICH'IN NATIVE PEOPLES AND DEFEND THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS! SAVE THE CARIBOU AND THE ARCTIC REFUGE

The Indigenous Environmental Network, the International Indian Treaty Council and Greenaction issue this call to action to stop George W. Bush's plan to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Oil drilling in this beautiful area would violate the human rights of the Gwich'in Native Peoples, would pollute the pristine wilderness of the Arctic Refuge, and would threaten the survival of the porcupine caribou and the Gwich'in.

We ask organizations from all walks of life to sign the Statement of Support for the Gwich'in in their fight against the proposed oil drilling.

We will deliver this statement to the Gwich'in on June 22, 2001 in Arctic Village, Alaska. We will also send it to President George W. Bush and Congress to demand they drop this oil drilling plan now.

Tell the White House: No Oil Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
