Overview
Goals of this Proposal:
1. Put together a report on how the fund is used.
2. Create an online petition to gather popular support for the ethical use of the funds.
3. Take additional steps to publicize this issue, such as asking for an appearance on local media (radio stations, etc.) and writing an article for Anchorage Visionary News.

Details
All Alaskans benefit from the Alaska Permanent Dividend, receiving on average more than $1,000 per person. The fund currently has about $67 billion in assets, much of this invested in the stock market and real estate holdings around the world. Because we benefit from it we are also responsible for how it is used. We should not allow investments in areas with harmful social effects, such as alcohol, tobacco, fast food, gambling, pornography, weapons, contraception and abortion, fossil fuel production or the military.
