You're invited to SEACC's Climate Conversation on President Biden’s Build Back Better economic recovery plan and what it means for Alaska.
On Earth Day, President Joe Biden will convene a gathering of 40 world leaders to address the climate crisis. While the conversation will be global, the impacts will be felt very close to home here in Alaska. Join Southeast Alaska Conservation Council and The Alaska Center the next day, Friday, April 22nd to unpack the global developments and ground them in Alaskan actions.
We're back, baby! After a long COVID pause, we are ready to return to our usually scheduled SEACC Summer Bonfires! We're making some necessary changes to our normal format, in order to maintain COVID compliance and community wellbeing. For example, we will not be grilling or providing food. We will be providing packaged, sealed beverages in cans, along with plenty of fuel for a friendly fire. We have missed sharing space with you and can't wait to see you again! Here are some guidelines for returning to our summer socials: Bring some food! We can not safely prepare food for everyone with the resources at hand, but we do so enjoy breaking bread with you so we encourage people to bring food for themselves so we can still eat together. Wear a mask! Obviously you can't eat and wear a mask at the same time, but whenever not actively eating please wear your mask to respect and protect those who attendees will encounter at the end of festivities. Be mindful of space and maintain 6 feet from other guests. We have a good feeling about this summer, friends, and we can't wait to feel the power of your presence […]
Join SEACC Climate Organizer Matt Jackson for a night of action to support the American Jobs Plan! The American Jobs Plan is a once in a generation opportunity to win big on good projects for the Tongass and all of Southeast Alaska. President Biden’s plan will protect Southeast from the impacts of climate change while creating jobs, improving habitat, lowering renewable energy costs, and creating opportunity for our communities, but it's going to need your help, and Senator Murkowski’s, to get across the finish line! Join us at 6pm on Tuesday, May 25th over Zoom for an overview of the American Jobs Plan, then take immediate action on social media and over the phones, getting folks to call and write Senator Murkowski to take action for Southeast!
