Just a friendly reminder that the first Radical Reference Portland
Collective meeting is this Wednesday at 7pm at the Red and Black Cafe. Hope
to see you there!

Hello Portland area librarians and library workers,
>
> Do you see library work as political or do you want a way to bring your
> politics into your library work? Do you want to use your library talent to
> assist other progressive causes in the area? Do you want to swap skills with
> peers and meet other Portland radical librarians and library workers? If so
> then please join us at the first Portland Radical Reference Local Collective
> meeting!
>
> Radical Reference is a collective of volunteer library workers who believe
> in social justice and equality. We support activist communities, progressive
> organizations, and independent journalists by providing professional
> research support, education and access to information. We work in a
> collaborative virtual setting and are dedicated to information activism to
> foster a more egalitarian society.
>
> It's important to note that while reference is included in the title, the
> group is so much broader than reference. Past initiatives have included:
> outreach to communities, skill sharing, teaching workshops, suggesting
> changes to Library of Congress Subject Headings, and much more. The group is
> what we make it, and can grow and change depending on our and Portland's
> needs.
