WHO WE ARE
The mission of the Alaska Chamber is to promote a healthy business environment in Alaska. We’re focused on building a better tomorrow for our state – a future where all Alaskans have opportunity. Ballot Measure 1 threatens jobs and opportunities for Alaskans, and it’s why the Alaska Chamber membership voted to oppose Ballot Measure 1.
Ballot Measure 1 is endorsed by extreme environmentalists who are backed by Outside political activists. They don’t have Alaskans’ best interests at heart.
Help the Alaska Chamber, Alaska Native corporations, and labor unions protect Alaska’s future by rejecting Outside meddling. Vote No on 1 on November 3rd.

Meddling in Alaska
The Alaska Center has endorsed Ballot Measure 1. Before you vote, get the facts about The Alaska Center and their ongoing efforts to restrict development in our state.
- According to its own website, The Alaska Center’s three biggest funders are based in San Francisco and Washington, DC – Tides Advocacy Fund, League of Conservation Voters, and Sixteen Thirty Fund.
- Tides Advocacy Fund supports initiatives to “KEEP FOSSIL FUELS IN THE GROUND”
- The Alaska Center is the state chapter for the League of Conservation Voters, a national group that supports the GREEN NEW DEAL
- The Sixteen Thirty Fund has ties to the Sierra Club who celebrated Shell cancelling multi-billion dollar investments in Alaska.
- In 2018, The Alaska Center spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in Outside money supporting the Yes for Salmon Ballot Measure. The Anchorage Daily News said the measure would have had “substantial negative impact on Alaska’s economy.” Alaska voters defeated the measure that year with a 62-to-37 margin.
- The group was previously known as “the Alaska Center for the Environment.” In 2016 they changed their name in order to “appeal to people who don’t like the word ‘environment.’”
- The Alaska Center for the Environment has sued to block construction of the Whittier Road, challenged oil and gas leasing in the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska (NPR-A), opposed a life-saving road between King Cove and Cold Bay, and has consistently opposed development in the Coastal Plain of ANWR.
