Contact Legislators in Juneau

Updated 4/10/2025

House Bill 69 (HB69) has passed the Senate Finance Committee and will be going to the Senate floor for a vote in the near future. Contact your state legislators to advocate in support of the passage of HB69, which serves to increase the Base Student Allocation (BSA). (Find out more about HB69 here.) On this page you'll find one simple action to take, and also more detailed information about letter-writing below. 

One easy action.  Send a short (50-word maximum) message to all members of the legislature using the “Public Opinion Messages” tool on akleg.gov. Through this tool, you can send your message to ALL state legislators, which we recommend. 

Tips: 

Here is a sample 50-word letter in support of HB69 that you can copy and paste into the public message page (don't forget to add the specifics and delete the placeholders):

I am a parent of [number of kids] students in the Anchorage School District and a constituent of Representative [name of your State House Representative – don’t know who that is? See below!]. Please fight for a significant and sustained increase to the BSA through passage of HB69 or equivalent legislation. Adequately funded public schools are our constitutional right. Alaska’s kids depend on it!  

Another option with no edits necessary if you're short on time: 

I am a parent of children at Chugach Optional Elementary in Anchorage. Our school is at risk of losing teachers unless you take action. This is urgent; Alaska's future depends on fully funding schools. Please fight for a significant and sustained increase in the BSA (HB69 or other legislation).

Letter writing. We are encouraging personal details and/or Chugach talking points that go to your legislators in Juneau at a minimum but ideally can be sent to ALL legislators.  Specifically, here's what you can do:
