Housing is a human right! Oppose new ordinances!
Anchorage assembly members and the Mayor have introduced ordinances that would criminalize camping on public lands in Anchorage which would increase the criminalization of Anchorage's most vulnerable residents.

We are establishing the Nankat Liberation Center on land just outside of Fairbanks! Nankat means "on the land" in the Gwich'in language; in this way we honor our roots as Native Movement was founded in Gwich'in territory. (Cont. in replies

With Alaska standing to lose $194 million annually in federal Medicaid funding and up to 33,000 Alaskans stripped of coverage, these cuts could force some rural communities to have to close clinics that serve as lifelines for entire regions. (Continued ⬇️)

These cuts would be devastating for rural and Indigenous Alaskan communities, where healthcare access is already limited and distances to medical care can be hundreds of miles. (Continued) ⬇️

Right now, the Senate is moving forward on a massive budget bill, the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” that proposes to cut funding to critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP — all to give massive tax breaks to billionaires. (Cont. in replies)

New report shows just how extreme Alaska’s energy burden is - some rural and low-income households spend 20–50% of their income just to keep the heat and lights on.
