Mobilizers needed for the general election!

We're proud to support the Alaska Voter Hub's Paid Relational Organizing Program. In the primary, they generated 1,000+ relational contacts and reached over 700 unique Alaskans. Now they're recruiting mobilizers for this fall.

[Build Alaska's Future @BuildAKFuture]

Their next outreach window starts September 28, focused on reminding Alaskans to check their voter registration.

Relational organizing works because it's neighbors talking to neighbors. It works even better when there are more mobilizers on board.

Why it matters: this is the largest RHTP award of any state besides Texas, meant to offset rural health impacts of Medicaid cuts under the federal reconciliation law.

Sitka's airport just doubled in size — and it's not done yet.

A $50M+ transformation of SIT expanded the terminal, tripled baggage claim, added 2 TSA lanes, and created gate lounges 5x larger. Phase 2 wraps this summer.

Our lifeline airport, built for the next generation.

$4.7M federal grant awarded to advance the Don Young Port of Alaska Modernization Program

The Port serves 150+ communities — but aging, earthquake-damaged docks threaten Alaska's supply chain & food security.

Every $1 invested saves Alaskans ~$2.50 in shipping costs.
