    Councilors,

    I'm pleased to share the creation of a new group in ALA Connect, Rainbow Council Caucus. Modeled on the efforts of the Youth Council Caucus, RCC aims to promote collaboration among Councilors on LGBTQIA+ matters.

    The Rainbow Council Caucus is comprised ALA Councilors who are members of Rainbow Round Table, identify as LGBTQIA+, or as an ally. The group exists to ensure that LGBTQIA+ issues are adequately addressed in ALA Council. This space in ALA Connect is meant to be a resource where Rainbow Council Caucus members can exchange information and network. Rainbow Council Caucus will meet in person during LibLearnX and Annual conferences.

    If LGBTQIA+ issues are important to you, please join us.

    As do I! Sign me up! Thanks RRT, we truly need coalition in these times.

    Also, if anyone is interested, PLA has a caucus in Council.  We need coalition there, too!

    I'm also unable to join via either link. The error message I get is "No Data Found. Either the content you're seeking doesn't exist or it requires proper authentication before viewing."

    Fun times! Can people try searching for Rainbow Caucus in Connect? It appears in the list when I perform the search, but not sure if that's because I'm already a member. Sorry for the confusion. Apparently the link that works when you're already a member isn't the same for those who are not.

    Okay, with a big thank you to Cory Stevenson the group should now be accessible to everyone.
