Michael Tavoliero and Matthew Hickey started the Eaglexit movement in 2018 as a response to the Anchorage Assembly District 2 (AD2) residents' comments and complaints about the Anchorage Municipalities (MOA) management of the lands, services, and monies of Eagle River, Chugiak, & Birchwood.  Since then, Eaglexit has become a registered 501(c)3 with a board and dozens of volunteers. No one serving Eaglexit is compensated.
