Please honor Alaskan Native women and take all necessary steps to stop the epidemic of domestic violence against Alaskan Native women, children, and families. We ask Congress to remove the "Murkowski exclusion" that excludes Alaskan tribes' right to issue civil domestic protection orders regardless of who the perpetrator is --native or nonnative.
Why is this important?
Please join us in support to end domestic violence against Alaskan Native women, children, and families. Ask President Obama, your state legislators, and the Alaska Congressional delegation (Lisa Murkowski, Mark Begich, and Don Young), and Governor Parnell to remove the Alaska tribal exclusion and require all states and tribes to honor all civil domestic violence protection orders! Tribes in Alaska should not be treated differently from tribes outside of Alaska.
