Description

In January of 2007, a ballot measure committee was organized and was named Alaskans Together. It was organized to fight against an anti-gay advisory vote promoted by opponents of civil equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Alaska. This group of Alaskans who intended to strip State employees of same-sex partner benefits found themselves fighting a surprisingly close election that inspired a group of local LGBT activists from across the state to continue to organize and create a statewide LGBT educational and advocacy organization. This statewide LGBTQ organization that has been engaged in local, state, and federal policy discussions and educational initiatives to further LGBT rights in Alaska and across the country since 2007.
