Advocating for Alaskans since 2000.
Alaskans For Fair Redistricting (AFFR) is a coalition of Alaska Native groups, organized labor, public interest and community organizations. AFFR was created amid the 2000 redistricting process to ensure an equitable map for the people of Alaska. AFFR’s membership includes redistricting veterans who have a clear scope of the necessary strategic process and data aggregation needed to achieve an equitable map. In addition, AFFR leadership is focused on community-driven collaboration, finding ways to make both the maps submitted as well as the coalition process reflective of and driven by Alaska’s communities who are often at most risk of disenfranchisement throughout the redistricting process--specifically, rural Alaska Native communities, and urban communities of color.

This redistricting cycle, due to significant population changes in many parts of the state, the stakes have never been higher. The balance of Alaska’s political landscape for the next ten years hinges on the fairness and integrity of whatever map the Redistricting Board ultimately approves. Your financial contribution will help ensure our ability to secure a balanced and equitable map to prevent hyper-partisan gerrymandering.
