The FCAC Keep it in the Ground! Working Group believes that addressing the catastrophic impacts of climate change means keeping the remaining fossil fuel resources in the ground.  A just transition to a socially and environmentally regenerative economy requires saying "no" to economic choices we know are inconsistent with climate justice. This working group acts to mount popular grassroots campaigns to end fossil fuel extraction in our state and seeks to build a network of volunteer driven community climate action hubs across the state of Alaska. These hubs will work together and independently to uplift Indigenous leadership and traditional knowledge, and build a people-powered campaign that shifts the power structure in the state so that Alaskans will choose to end reliance on fossil fuel extraction and build a lasting, regenerative economy that protects our lands, waters and ways of life. Through this structure, we aim, to:

• Change Alaska’s tax structure to eliminate excessive indirect expenditure write-off that greatly decrease state revenue.

• Change the structure and function of the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority (AIDEA) to increase public participation and oversight, end funding extractive projects and instead fund regenerative solutions.
