How can we hold ourselves accountable to racially just futures without first reckoning with our institutional pasts? Check out @incluseum or our latest blog post to read about @aletheiajane's "Institutional Genealogy" framework to assess & address this: bit.ly/382aGrg

Thank those who have asked about compensation for speakers. We are currently discussing ways to raise money so that no one experiences a barrier to presenting. Please reach out to us if this is a concern and we’ll figure something out! (2/2)

**PROPOSAL DEADLINE EXTENDED** to 4/20 11:59pm ET. It's been a rough week. We are extending our deadline to accommodate anyone who thought about submitting but felt unable to because of financial barriers. We want to let you know we're working on it! (1/2)

@thenewpopup @KayleighBinDC We missed you! We are not recording (so folks can share more freely), but we are going to be sending out some notes & resources within the next couple days.

@KayleighBinDC @museumaction I am so sad I missed it. I looked to see if there was a note about just the presentations or panel being recorded before the small groups, but couldn't find anything.

From today's @museumaction Community of Anitracist Practice: we can't "love what we do"-our way to equity. #Museums need to do the real, liberative, radical work. #MuseumsAreNotNeutral

@ruthgarde @KayleighBinDC Hi Ruth! Thanks for your interest. Going to send you a PM with more info shortly 😊

@AndreaMontielS @murawski27 Current and former staff are invited to participate. We hope your friend will share their experience with us ☺️

@museumaction @murawski27 Hola! Is this survey specifically for staff or are former staff who recently resigned able to participate 😬 asking for a friend? 😆

On June 2, a large number of museums posted statements in solidarity with Black Lives Matter. Are those institutions still engaged in the anti-racism work they signaled on social media? How do we move from words to transformative action & accountability? shorturl.at/mJPST
