TAKE ACTION: Citizen Co-Sponsor Alaska's Equality Act

Join us in supporting Alaska's Equality Act! This bill when proposed would add sexual orientation and gender identity protections to the state's existing anti-discrimination law. In 2011, the original version of this bill was introduced by Rep. Beth Kerttula and made very little progress. Despite some GOP support, State House Republican leadership gave the bill very little consideration.

In 2023, the legislature had the best opportunity ever to finally make progress on passing this long-awaited bill. It passed two State House committees failed to receive a hearing and a vote in it last assigned committee - the House Judiciary committee. We await its introduction again in the Alaska legislature.
