Hi Chris,

Perhaps the ALA forums? I can't remember off the top of my head if you have
to be a member of ALA to post or not but that seems like a good place to
start. They have a general board and people post lots of things there.
Although i have to say, I ultimately disagree with the manner in which this
is being discussed (in a forum thread). I'm sure others may have more
suggestions. I think this is absolutely an important discussion to have
here but perhaps in a structured, official manner such as a roundtable in
conjunction with an organization such as RAINN. The dangers of "unofficial"
one-off threads like this one is that at best, not a whole lot gets done
and it is triggering for folks unnecessarily, and at worst it can devolve
into mudslinging and doxxing. Not that I think this would actually happen
here, but I've seen it happen elsewhere, which is why i think it should be
done in a structured manner with known entities. Again, i only speak for
myself, so i'm happy to hear from others for other ideas.

Best,

Natasha
