AK CAN!
An outreach & education project of ALICE
AK CAN! is the education, outreach and social media arm of ALICE.
AK CAN! connects Alaskans across the state who share a deep concern about global warming, biodiversity, social justice and our energy future.
Alaska centric news, science updates, action alerts, events, classes and commentary are most welcome!
The Alaska Climate Action Network (AK CAN!) connects over 1,600 Alaskans from all corners of the state who share a deep concern about climate change, biodiversity and our energy future and desire for a just and sustainable future through collective, grassroots action. Our network includes a diversity of community-based partner organizations, Indigenous leaders, scientists, renewable energy experts, artists, engineers, and journalists from across the state.
Our purpose is to connect, inform and inspire Alaskans to take individual and community action on the climate/ecological crisis.
