From 5:00 to 6:00 p.m., enjoy a light meal and casual conversation with neighbors and community leaders. At 6:00 p.m., we’ll break into small groups at tables to discuss:
- The positive vision we share for our communities and state
- The hurdles we face in achieving that vision
- The practical paths that can get us there
Afterward, we’ll come together for a short group debrief, sharing the ideas, priorities, and solutions that emerged from the smaller discussions.
The evening will conclude with a “community showcase.” Local organizations will give a one-minute elevator pitch on opportunities they have for engagement. Then attendees can browse a science fair–style walk-through highlighting local organizations and projects already doing the work to move Alaska forward. Attendees will have the chance to take direct action or learn more about efforts related to:
- Health Care Access
- Voting rights
- Food security
- LGBTQ+ equality
- Clean Environment
- Housing access
- And more
Come share your voice, connect with others, and help chart a path toward a stronger, fairer Alaska for everyone.
