[Libs-Or] Spring season of Unpacking is here!

[Unpacking Discussion Group]

*Please forgive our cross-posts. *

Hi all,

*Unpacking is back for* our Spring Season. This season will be spent
working through Tema Okun's White Supremacy Culture article.
<https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/uploads/4/3/5/7/43579015/okun_-_white_sup_culture_2020.pdf>
 *We're going to work through this together in real time, so there is no
expectation that you will have already read the article.* That being said,
if you would like to build yourself a more robust foundation, we highly
recommend reading the original article, exploring Okun's website
<https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/>, and checking out their recent
update, "White Supremacy Culture: Still Here
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XR_7M_9qa64zZ00_JyFVTAjmjVU-uSz8/view>"
from May 2021.

*Spring 2023 Dates: *
Thursdays
7:30 - 9:00 p.m.
February 2
March 2
April 6
May 4

*If you would like to take part in these discussions* (and we hope you
will), please sign up on our website
<https://unpackingdiscussion.weebly.com/about--contact.html>to receive the
Zoom links and reminders, as well as logistical updates about the Unpacking
organization. If you've been interested in the discussions or are at all
interested in exploring EDI, anti-racism, or generally smashing the
patriarchy but haven't known where to start, this is an excellent entry
point. Bring all your questions! We're figuring it out together.

Please reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback. We can't wait
to see you all in February.

Very best,

*The Unpacking Team*

*Unpacking  <https://unpackingdiscussion.weebly.com/>*is a discussion-based
forum created to provide a space in which white and white-identifying
individuals can examine the realities of their white privilege. Through
conversation, we explore how to actively dismantle systems which oppress
Black, Indigenous, and People of Color and from which all white and
white-identifying individuals benefit. *Unpacking* is designed for the
communal education of white and white-identifying individuals, but welcomes
all people who would like to contribute to or engage in this work.
Additionally, though *Unpacking *is rooted in conversations about race, we
welcome a broad range of topics which can help libraries and museums to
become more diverse, equitable, inclusive, and accessible.
