Alaskans Together reforms as two different groups

Alaskans Together, the group that led the surprisingly successful fight against the April 2007 anti-gay advisory vote (on same-sex partner benefits) is pleased to announce that it is re-forming as two new groups: Alaskans Together for Equality, Inc. is a non-profit that can lobby the Alaska Legislature for equal rights for LGBT Alaskans, and Alaskans Together Foundation, Inc. is an educational non-profit that can receive grants and educate the Alaskan public on the need for equal treatment and civil rights for LGBT Alaskans. We are proud to be working closely with the ACLU of Alaska which has been helping to lead the struggle for LGBT equality for many years. We look forward to your future membership and involvement in both organizations.
