Being “pro-Alaska” means protecting communities and fisheries, not risky offshore oil plans backed by big industry. A federal proposal would open nearly all of Alaska’s coastline to drilling. Public comments close Jan 23 — speak up: inletkeeper.org/our-work/oil-gas-lease-sales/
Opinion: We know a bad oil plan when we see one
A sweeping federal leasing proposal puts nearly all of our coastline at risk.

“Pro-business” doesn’t mean backing ultra-rich mining execs over Alaskans. Bristol Bay’s salmon already power local jobs, culture, and communities. Pebble Mine puts it all at risk. 🐟

Opinion: Pro-business in Bristol Bay means salmon, not mines
Rather than propping up a foreign mining corporation, Alaska should look after the businesses that already anchor Bristol Bay communities.
