[Darci Hanning]

Greetings,

I just ran across this announcement - these webinars from the Social Responsibility Round Table of ALA are free and open to everyone! For complete information, please visit: http://www.ala.org/rt/srrt/afternoon-social-justice

June 29 (Monday):

Native American Treaty Rights in the Time of Covid-19 (9:00am - 10:30am PT)
This program is sponsored by the American Indian Library Association and the International Responsibilities Task Force of the Social Responsibilities Round Table

The struggle to defend the treaty rights of Native Americans has been long and difficult. But the Covid-19 pandemic has presented new challenges to the protection of the voting rights, the environment, and the health and safety of Native American communities. Our panel will address these issues, and what you can do to help.

Democracy in the Time of COVID (10:45am - 12:15pm PT)
The focus of this panel discussion will be how COVID19 may impact November's election and how the ongoing attacks on "vote by mail" could result in massive voter suppression. Panelists will also consider the chimera of voter fraud and how it is being used as a subversive tool to undercut our democracy. The session will begin with a short documentary that goes behind the scenes of the so-called "voter integrity" movement, "Voter Fraudbusters," from the producers of, "Rigged: The Voter Suppression Playbook."

Herstory through Activism: Women, Libraries, and Activism (12:30pm - 1:30pm PT)
In honor of the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage and the 50th anniversary of ALA's Feminist Task Force, this panel presentation will look at the intersections and relationships between women, libraries, and activism. From early literary clubs to today's radical feminists, libraries have always been a haven for both women and activists. Hear "herstory" from a diverse group of librarians and learn more about how this relationship developed and grew into today's current activism. See how far we've come and what else is left to do. Note: this is a recording our ALA Annual presentation. Panelists will be available afterwards for live discussions and questions.
