Alaska Native activists are planning on organizing various boycotts against businesses in Alaska to protest racism.

The Economic Boycott Committee is considering a variety of actions to carry out their boycott. Individual businesses might be included.

The group says they will continue the boycott until the Alaska Legislature passes a hate crimes bill and racism is addressed statewide. The group says incidents like the paint-ball attacks on Alaska Natives and the rapes of Alaska Native women spurred their movement.
