TMC’s flyer said the roles would pay $25 an hour with $100 bonuses for more than three days’ work. The canvassing would entail “educating and activating” Alaskan citizens on behalf of political campaigns. In May 2025, Native Peoples Action advertised that TMC was looking for “specialists” for its Rural and Indigenous Outreach team who would help organizations pursue activism in environmental conservation, human rights, and democratic reforms. The positions were remote and offered an hourly salary of $25-$30. ^{3 4}
