Alaskan Public Policy
- Democracy depends on citizen participation,
- Alaskans have a lot of good ideas that should be shared,
- Polarization is not the way our communities and state should function, and
- By respectfully exchanging ideas with one another, we can work toward solving the problems facing our community, state, and nation
ACG values and embraces the rich cultural, political, and social diversity that Alaska encompasses. Our commitment to a just society and sustainable democracy is rooted in our appreciation for the unique perspectives that each Alaskan brings to the table. We firmly believe that an engaged democracy thrives when Alaskans from all backgrounds are empowered to make informed decisions on public policy issues.
