Within Inletkeeper’s 26 year lifetime, we’ve experienced a rapid change in the communications and media landscape. The technology that once seemed far off and of the future is here now. This landscape and the mediums available for spreading our message and empowering action will continue to shift and grow. 

The advent of the world wide web and social media has expanded our horizons, yet the power of a conversation between two community members can’t be underestimated. We hope to equip and empower you, our members and supporters, to spread the message as your own; to talk to your friends and neighbors about our shared vision for Cook Inlet and how we can continue to protect this place we love.

We remain hopeful that the issues we’re fighting for will look different in the future as the necessary climate action is well underway. Our communications may become less urgent and action-oriented as we share stories and art to celebrate the resilience, adaptation, and success of our Inlet communities.  

While change is inevitable, we hope some things stay the same. Although more mediums and messages will continue to pull at our attention, thriving and equitable communities in a resilient watershed will remain our vision and we’re grateful to have you by our side. 

Thank you for reading. We are able to do this work because of member support from concerned citizens like you. Please donate today to protect Cook Inlet for our future generations.

SB-92: How to Keep Alaska’s Budget From Driving Over a Cliff

Taxing oil and gas S-Corporations in the same manner as C-corporations is an important first step in repairing Alaska’s fiscal foundations. As long as oil and gas extraction is a significant source of state revenue, Alaska will be undermining itself by preserving a loophole that allows Hilcorp, now the state’s major industry player, to profit from our resources without paying income tax that would be collected in any other state.

“Government Efficiency”

Gov. Mike Dunleavy published Administrative Order 360 in early August to reduce “administrative and economic burdens associated with regulatory compliance.” But the order is more likely to slow down rather than speed up decisions we need for sustainable energy, as well as weakening protections for the ecosystems Alaskans depend on.
