Standing with Alaskans for 50 years.

Since our founding on October 21, 1974, AKPIRG has been advocating for the public interest in Alaska – and we have much to celebrate after five decades of advocacy.

Share your AKPIRG story with us.

If you were involved in AKPIRG as a member, staff, board, or volunteer at any time in the past 50 years, we want to hear about your experience with AKPIRG! Reach out to info@akpirg.org to get involved in the storytelling of our 50th Anniversary.

Celebrate with us.

In addition to continuing our regular advocacy throughout 2024, we look forward to sharing many trips down memory lane, and to celebrating our legacy together at events in Anchorage, Juneau, and Fairbanks.

AKPIRG Trivia Night

March 19, 2024 // Imperial Bar, Juneau AK

Thank you to all who joined us at our first 50th Anniversary event of the year, AKPIRG Trivia Night! It was amazing to see so many friendly faces in Juneau and share some of the fun facts about AKPIRG’s 50 year legacy. Check back here or follow us on social media to be the first to hear about upcoming events!

Sharing 50 years of AKPIRG history directly from our archives.

In the summer 2023, AKPIRG collected dozens of boxes of our archives from the UAA Consortium Library and embarked on the exciting and formidable mission to digitize decades worth of AKPIRG history. For months, our staff has been combing through the AKPIRG archives, and learning so much about AKPIRG's history along the way.

We’re excited to share some of the gems from the archives during our 50th Anniversary Year! Follow AKPIRG on social media for more trips down memory lane.

Wear our limited edition 50th Anniversary merch!

Thank you for 50 years of support!
