AK PIRG

$34,083 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved! | $5,917 Left to Raise

Facing a severe natural gas shortfall, Alaska is making immediate decisions on LNG import contracts for the next 30 years. A lack of institutional leadership and predatory delay from Alaska's public utilities and state agencies have created the current crisis. While LNG imports are a necessary bridge as renewables are built, they are not a long-term solution. AK PIRG staunchly opposes expensive, long-term LNG obligations and is working extensively at the Regulatory Commission of Alaska to keep the lights on in the short term and protect consumers from being locked into LNG and rising market prices in the long term.

Semilla Action

$50,000 Raised | Fundraising Goal Achieved!

Semilla Action is leading the Clear Horizons Campaign where we have an opportunity to make tremendous progress for climate action by passing the Clear Horizons Act (Senate Bill 4), the Community Benefits Fund Act (Senate Bills 48 & 49), and the Innovations in Government Act (Senate Bill 83). These bills take an intersectional approach to not only codifying emissions reductions targets into state law through the Clear Horizons Act, but simultaneously pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into communities for just transition and clean energy projects that will directly reduce emissions in the Community Benefits Fund.
