To immediately make progress on climate action, President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to ban new oil and gas leasing on America’s federal public lands and waters on Day One of his administration.

Join Guardians in urging President-elect Biden to keep his promise to keep dirty fossil fuels in the ground.
