“The Arizona Faith Network is incredibly disappointed by the Biden Administration announcement to once again begin leasing public lands for oil and gas extraction. Fossil fuel production is one of the biggest contributors to climate change and giving away more land to oil and gas companies is a betrayal of our moral and spiritual obligation to future generations. We urge Congress to immediately take action to reverse this decision, so we can protect our treasured public lands and move forward in reducing carbon emissions.” – Rev. Katie Sexton-Wood, Executive Director, Arizona Faith Network
