last person joined: yesterday 

The Social Responsibilities Round Table works to make ALA more democratic and to establish progressive priorities not only for the Association, but also for the entire profession. Concern for human and economic rights was an important element in the founding of SRRT and remains an urgent concern today. SRRT believes that libraries and librarians must recognize and help solve social problems and inequities in order to carry out their mandate to work for the common good and bolster democracy.

    Combating Voter Suppression: What Can Libraries Do?

    Join the ALA Social Responsibilities Round Table (SRRT) and Government Documents Round Table (GODORT) as we discuss ways for librarians and libraries to combat voter suppression in an age of rampant disinformation.
