The origin
How they started
Alaska Community Action on Toxics was founded in Anchorage in December 1997 to take on the health harms of pollution from industrial, resource extraction and military sites, existing and proposed. It works through advocacy, community education and research done with the communities affected, toward environmental justice for Alaskans.
How they run
Small and lean
We don’t hold a detailed federal filing for this group. Groups this size often file the short form or run below the IRS reporting line, so there’s no budget or crew to show here, and that’s no knock: some of the sharpest local defense in the country runs this way.
