Begich and Sullivan have stood behind Trump while he went after our government and our democratic institutions. Now he's flying in to return the favor. We see it. Tuesday, 1:30–4 pm, Newcomb Park. RSVP: www.mobilize.us/mat-suunite...

Trump in the MatSu: Show Up to Stand Up! · Mat-Su United for Progress Alaska
# TRUMP IS COMING TO MAT-SU—LET’S SHOW UP! Trump is coming to the Menard Center in Wasilla for a rally with Dan Sullivan and Nick Begich—and we have an important message for him: **Mat-Su is not a political coronation, and he should not expect a warm welcome from everyone here!** Since Trump’s election in 2024, Mat-Su United for Progress and Stand Up Alaska have been organizing, speaking out, and bringing our community together to challenge his agenda. Now it’s time to make our voices heard again! **WE’RE ANGRY ABOUT WHAT TRUMP IS DOING TO OUR COUNTRY. BUT HE WILL NOT STEAL OUR JOY, OUR HOPE, OR OUR COMMUNITY SPIRIT!** We stand stronger together. We stand up for our neighbors, our democracy, and the future we want for Alaska. And we’re not showing up just to protest—we’re showing up together! **Black Water Railroad will be there to bring the music** and help keep our spirits high. Because standing up for what matters can be powerful, positive, and even fun. 📍 **WHERE:** Newcomb P

100,000 doors knocked across Alaska (and counting!) This is a movement that reaches every corner of our state, built one conversation at a time. And the message we're hearing is clear: Alaskans are ready for a senator who shows up for all of us. 🐟❤️🇺🇸

Across Alaska, hardworking families are being pushed past the breaking point, unable to cover the bills and forced to choose between food and fuel. The Last Frontier needs a leader fighting to lower costs, not one voting for the war that's raising them.

Someone posted this anti-Bill Hill flyer on Reddit…hmm, thanks? 🤔
Picture of Anti Bill Hill flyer that makes it seem like he is aligned with Bernie and AOC, and pays homage to Eminem, like all are a bad thing. Bill is smiling and holding fistfuls of cash in between Bernie and AOC. There is a rising sun red and white pattern as the backdrop.
The top of the flyer says “The Real: Bill Hill”  and the bottom says “Bankrolling Bernie and AOC”.

Labor
We strongly support the right of every Alaskan to choose to join and/or organize a union, to negotiate and ratify contracts in good faith, and to participate in union activities without fear of reprisal. Negotiated contracts must be honored and enforced free of discrimination. We support the pillars of the labor movement: fair pay and benefits, civil rights, protections against corporate greed, workplace health and safety, gender and racial equality, gender identity, global workers' rights, immigration, apprenticeship opportunities for life-long careers and every Alaskan's right to strike.
We want this to be a state where all Alaskans of every stage of their employment can sustain themselves and their family and we support defined benefit pensions and retirement plans.

• Expanded local housing tools to encourage long-term rentals, support affordable housing, and help first-time homebuyers.
• Improved health care access by expanding licensing pathways for health care and mental health professionals.

Alaska is an oil-producing state. There’s no reason we should have higher fuel costs than the Lower 48. Our leadership needs to be focused on bringing these costs down. Instead, they're forcing Alaska families to foot the bill for their endless war in Iran.
