Hosted by the ACLU of Alaska:

“Rally with us to defend Alaska’s constitutional liberties on Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2019 at 2 p.m. That afternoon the Court will hear oral arguments in our suit against Governor Michael Dunleavy. The Governor attacked the Alaska Court System, the independent judiciary, and the constitutional separation of powers that protects the rights of every Alaskan when he vetoed funding from the Alaska Court System because the Alaska Supreme Court ruled in a manner at odds with his personal and political beliefs about women’s rights and reproductive rights.

Governor Dunleavy has attacked the Court for defending a woman’s constitutionally protected right to choose. What’s next? LGBTQ rights? Workers’ rights? When Alaskans’ rights are on the line, judges should be weighing the law, not the chance of budget cuts from the Governor.”

There are several opportunities to testify on HB 2001, a bill that will make appropriations from the earnings reserve to set the amount of the PFD for 2019. There is an opportunity to restore the funding that was cut by the governor's vetoes in this bill. The governor could, and likely will veto those attempts to restore funding, but legislators are continuing to work together to gain the needed 8 votes to successfully override those vetoes in another attempt. The work we have collectively done over the last several weeks is making a difference. Keep calling, keep writing, keep sending thank yous, and if you can, show up to testify in Anchorage, Mat-Su, Fairbanks, or Juneau to share your views on the importance of restoring this funding ASAP!

Public testimony opportunities are 2-7 pm with public comments limited to 2 minutes. Sign up to testify by 6:30 pm.
