Call for Participants: ARLIS/NA 2018 Session: Libraries Resist Dear Colleagues, The Public Policy Committee<https://www.arlisna.org/organization/committees/86-public-policy-committee> proposes a session on acts of political and social resistance in libraries, museums, and other related institutions. As a dynamic organization with international affiliates, ARLIS/NA is committed to diversity and inclusion within the art, design, and librarianship professions. However, recent United States Presidential Executive Orders and proposed budget cuts are an obstruction to creative expression, cultural enrichment, life-long learning, and are a threat to the diverse communities that libraries serve. This session will highlight efforts to resist the negative impacts of the current political and social environment through library programming, instruction, policies, etc. Please contact us by April 24 if you have experience creating programming and services designed to promote social justice and would like to participate in this session. We look forward to hearing from you! Please reply off list to [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.
