About This Campaign

Proposition 1 is a ballot measure in Anchorage's municipal election on April 3rd. It is an effort by the Alaska Family Council President and other anti-LGBTQ factions to repeal parts of Anchorage's Non-Discrimination Ordinance (NDO) that protect transgender people, and to change how a person's sex is defined for every municipal policy, procedure, and facility. This would bring back discrimination against transgender kids and adults in Anchorage in schools, employment, housing, and public spaces — including allowing strangers to demand to "check" someone's "sex at birth" before using restrooms or other public facilities.

Is This an LGBTQ+ Justice Issue?

YES!

Whenever an anti-LGBTQ+ measure passes, it emboldens our opposition to try the same tactics elsewhere and raises their chances of success. In Alaska specifically:

43% of transgender Alaskans have experienced homelessness — 23% in just the past year specifically because of being transgender
In the past year, 44% of those who saw a health care provider were turned away, harassed, attacked, or faced another form of discrimination because of being transgender.
Among those who were out or perceived to be transgender in school, 85% were mistreated because of being transgender — such as being harassed, sexually or physically assaulted, or kicked out of school — and 24% experienced such severe mistreatment that they left a K–12 school.
