ICYMI: New equity and social justice principle added to ALA Code of Ethics
by Karyn Ruley 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

Hello, I would like to remind everyone that the ALA has no authority over any library whatsoever. Just because they are moving to make libraries places of leftist activism, pushing ideologies stemming from Marxism and critical race theory, does not mean you have to as well. Start speaking up and having more courage about this. The parents in schools can do it. Where do you think the kids go AFTER school?

Re: [Michlib-l] New equity and social justice principle added to ALA Code of Ethics
by Katie Dover-Taylor 06 Aug '21

06 Aug '21

As a member of the Public Library Association's Task Force (now Committee) on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in 2017, I recall our discussions as we recommended social justice be added to our group's name and prioritized along with equity, diversity, and inclusion as a major goal in PLA's 2018-2022 Strategic Plan <https://www.ala.org/pla/about/mission/strategicplan>. We defined social justice as *"full and equal participation of all groups in a society that is mutually shaped to meet their needs."* I see this principle as in direct alignment with the other principles in the ALA Code of Ethics. It's unfortunate that full and equal participation of all groups in society is such a polarizing idea. When we drafted the Statement and Call to Action for Public Library Workers to Address Racism <https://www.ala.org/pla/initiatives/edi/calltoaction> last summer, it was with the understanding that library workers must be able to deeply engage in discussions and develop new practices that consciously work to dismantle racism if we are to have any chance of creating institutions that truly provide for everyone in our communities. There are many identities -- race, gender, sexuality, disability, religion, etc. -- that may lead to people being marginalized or harmed in their encounters with libraries. Again, we have to be able to address structural issues intentionally if we want to change that. I am grateful to everyone struggling to move this work forward! I'd be happy to chat about all of this in a format that is more conducive to real conversation -- please feel free to reach out if you're interested.
