Statements
People of faith are joining together in their commitment to steward God's creation and demonstrate their solidarity with the Gwich'in people by protecting this invaluable piece of God's good earth against oil and gas development. Below are letters and statements from the faith community regarding the Arctic.
In September 2019, religious organizations and denominations sent a letter to Congress urging that the Arctic Refuge protected from oil exploration and drilling. Faith leaders and religious organizations reacted to the news that Congress passed legislation in December 2017 that would open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling in the tax package. Black church state leaders urged Congress to remove the Arctic Refuge drilling provisions out of the tax reform bill.
Below, find statements from faith leaders in response to the US Senate's budget resolution vote that allows for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
