In the run-up to the midterm elections, President Trump has been busy trying to make the Alaska LNG project seem like a win for local Republicans. The only wrinkle is that his claims aren’t true. South Korea has not agreed to fund the pipeline, and Taiwan has not agreed to buy liquefied natural gas. Ultimately, magical thinking won’t make this pipe dream a reality.

President endorses Wilson for governor; claim Taiwan will buy 30% of gas from pipeline comes as he repeats falsehood about South Korea’s investment in project.

We had a great time this weekend celebrating the future of union labor on renewable projects in the state! We heard from speakers who shared about the history of renewable advocacy here, the exciting prospect of the Delta Wind project, which will be the state's biggest wind farm, and the importance of ensuring that project utilizes the strong union workforce we already have here in the state. We got to hear some rousing labor-themed folk songs from the Honeybucket Stringband, and got excited to take next steps to make this future a reality. Thanks so much to everyone who came out!

We invite you to learn about and support these organizations that are vital to our movement and our collective future.
