Dear colleagues, I am pleased to share a call for Ivy+ libraries to divest from police and prisons and invest in life-giving resources. This call is part of a larger movement for police-free libraries and was written in collaboration with library workers at Ivy+ institutions. Although our work is specific to Ivy+ libraries (broadly conceived!), we think many of the things we're calling for apply to other research libraries, and to the field more broadly. Please read, sign, and share: http://bit.ly/ivy-divest We welcome signatures from any interested library workers, students, or library users. This effort would not have been possible without previous calls to action from students, faculty, and staff at our institutions, as well as the labor and leadership of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ theorists, activists, and communities. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best wishes, Alison Clemens ######################################################################## to manage your DLF-ANNOUNCE subscription, visit diglib.org/announce
