Willow Decision Delayed
Things got weird on Friday when a few news outlets reported a decision on the willow project which the White House is pushing back on after delaying their final decision.
Friday was tense as we all waited for the highly-anticipated willow project decision, but Friday came and went with no formal announcement from the White House.
A few headlines from Reuters and Bloomberg were released citing sources “that did not wish to be named” claiming Biden Admin had decided to proceed with the willow project. But within hours Reuters rolled back that first report and updated the article to say there was still no formal decision. Other mostly right-leaning publications are still running with the story. Even with the White House firmly pushing back on those reports insisting there is still no formal decision. We still don't know for sure as of Sunday, March 12th, 2023.
The last 24 hours have been the wildest I have ever seen in media. Op-eds from all angles are getting blasted across the internet by various media publications. Those of us in the climate action community are doubling down, rallying our bases to keep pushing the message and take advantage of the additional time we’ve been given to amplify Stop Willow. Regardless of the decision, the plan was always to keep going.
For now, and until the White House makes its formal announcement, we turn up the volume on #stopwillow.
