Hi, all. As Core President-Elect, I want to interject that Division leadership are currently reviewing these resolutions and have not had the opportunity to formally discuss them, and it is premature to assert a Core position. I am grateful to Core leaders including Violet Fox, John DeSantis, and Brian ...

Hi, Rebecca! As grateful as I am for his volunteer service to the division,  John DeSantis does not speak for Core Leadership.  It is premature to assert a position. We're reviewing the resolutions currently with input from the Subject Analysis Committee and Public Policy and Advocacy Office.  We're ...

Ashley, I am so grateful you're bringing up this conversation. The need for nuance and understanding of how we keep library workers and communities safe while we consider removing policing in libraries is key. I have heard from public library colleagues who see academic conversations centered on library ...

Thanks so much for sharing and amplifying, Oscar! I am grateful to BIPOC ALA members and staff for their patience with the association in regards to these repeated failings which are an indictment of the profession as well. I am also particularly thankful to BCALA for volunteering their expertise putting ...

Thanks so much for this, President Jefferson! Acknowledging that in the case of student debt forgiveness our role within the coalition is mainly in lending our name, would it be possible for any coalition update (particularly since there is a meeting next week) be shared via Connect or another channel? ...

Thanks so much for this update, President Jefferson and Marsha!

I'll be sharing this letter through my ...

Had another suggestion about reaching out to EB-- so I'm working on that right now! Thanks so much for your help and input, everyone. As a little background context, I wanted to share this video from President Biden's town hall last night. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/joe-biden/i-will-not-make- ...

We know the topic is top of mind for many members with personal debt burdens as well as others who, like myself, work in higher education. Let me know if you're interested in working ...

Amber, I totally agree with not wanting to inappropriately "jump the line." In terms of how we advocate for all frontline library workers, I think it gets hard to parse and it might be strategically stronger to advocate for all library workers. Without such advocacy, it is likely to leave them in dangerous ...

Hi, all! I want to highlight a change to the proposed resolution, and share the updated document here. These changes come with the input of the COD and IFC, and I believe they constitute an improvement as they are more specific. Happy to take any questions!  Previously, Resolved Clause #3 read as follows: ...
