Peace Officers

Police Accountability

At Alaskans Take A Stand, we believe in the power of community-led solutions to create a safer and more just society. That's why we are proud to announce our new campaign, "Peace Officers (not police officers)." This campaign aims to shift the focus from traditional policing methods towards community-based alternatives that prioritize de-escalation and non-violent conflict resolution. We believe that investing in trained peace officers, who come from and understand the communities they serve, is crucial for building trust and promoting public safety. Join us as we work towards creating a more peaceful future for all Alaskans through community-centered approaches to public safety. Let's stand together for change! #PeaceOfficersNotPoliceOfficers #CommunitySafety #AlaskansTakeAStand

Alaska Civics Academy

Empowering Tomorrow's Changemakers

Alaska Civics Academy is where young minds meet the future of governance. We believe that informed citizens make for a healthier democracy. Our non-partisan, evidence-based programs provide a unique platform for young voters to educate themselves on the intricacies of local and federal governance.

With a curriculum designed to demystify the political process, Alaska Civics Academy ensures that participants understand how their voices can impact public policy. Through workshops, internships, and community forums, we highlight important federal legislation like the “George Floyd Act” and the “For the People Act”, which strive for social justice and strengthening voting rights.

House Everyone

Creating Homes, Restoring Hope

House Everyone is on a mission to end homelessness through compassionate advocacy and sustainable housing solutions. Our focus extends to individuals and families, regardless of race, wealth, or background, with special attention to the needs of indigenous peoples. Working on issues as diverse as affordable housing and policy reforms, we aim to dismantle systemic barriers to housing security.

With the proven Home First model and partnerships in health, employment, and education sectors, House Everyone continues to lead the fight for the right to safe and dignified shelter. Our legislative push includes campaigns for affordable housing and social safety net reforms in multiple states and at the federal level.

As a collective voice amplifying the commitment of each organization, we stand firm in our belief that change is possible, and action at all levels of government is essential. Join us in shaping a future where our voices are not just heard but also heeded, where communities thrive and justice is for all. Together, we can build a better world.

Racial Equality

In partnership with esteemed organizations such as the Alaska Black Caucus, NAACP, Hmong Organization, Pacific Community of Alaska, Black Lives Matter Alaska, and the Juneteenth Anchorage committee, we are dedicated to advancing racial equality across every facet of society. Our approach includes fostering community dialogues, conducting educational workshops, and leading advocacy efforts aimed at eradicating systemic racism. We endeavor to build a more equitable and just future for all Alaskans. Part of our mission involves supporting local entities that offer vital resources and services to BIPOC communities, including the Alaska Native Heritage Center and Umoja Coworking Space. Together, we are committed to forging a more inclusive and fair society for everyone.

Indigenous Sovereignty

We recognize that Alaska has a rich history and culture shaped by its diverse Indigenous communities, and we are committed to advocating for their rights and sovereignty. We support initiatives such as the recognition of Indigenous languages as official languages in Alaska, protecting sacred sites, and promoting traditional knowledge and practices. Our partnership with organizations like Native Movement allows us to amplify the voices of Indigenous people and bring attention to issues affecting their communities. We believe that honoring and respecting Indigenous sovereignty is crucial for a truly equitable and unified Alaska.
