[Libs-Or] New Unpacking Post & Invitation to OLA Unpacking Live!

[Unpacking Discussion Group]

Hello friends,

We have this season's first discussion recup
<https://unpackingdiscussion.weebly.com/blog/discussion-recap-march-2024>
up on the Unpacking site for those who are interested in exploring the
concept of safety with us. You are most welcome to jump in at any time; you
do not need to attend every discussion.

We also want to invite y'all to join us at the 2024 OLA Conference for our
very first live-and-in-person Unpacking discussion! Our session slot is
Thursday at 4 p.m., which is the same time slot as the BIPOC Affinity Group
(as well as some other wonderful sessions). We hope to see lots of new
faces at that discussion.

Let us know what questions you have. 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.
