This afternoon ASLA Adapt published our collective letter addressing landscape architecture's responsibility to address violence against the Black community and systemic inequities in our profession and communities at large. See https://t.co/f3hCce3j8d

Young designers, sign up and help shape this!

[Landscape Architecture Foundation @lafoundation]

The Green New Deal Superstudio is an open call for design schools, professional practices, individuals, and organizations to explore how the core goals of the Green New Deal—decarbonization, justice, and jobs can be translated into actual projects.

“The diversity within the field of landscape architecture does not reflect the places where we do or will practice, and this undermines the profession.” https://t.co/f3hCce3j8d

[The Urban Studio @the_UrbanStudio]

@AdaptAsla BLM Letter can be found in the Student Networking rooms at CUT/FILL today! Check it out and support them!

[ASLA ADAPT @AdaptAsla]

Actions for firms: “Reject projects that are complicit with the ongoing destruction and erasure of communities of color, including projects that perpetuate economic displacement, criminalize spaces, promote gentrification, and support the prison industrial complex”

[Andrew Sargeant @ByDesignDrew]

Registration will still be live tomorrow morning! I put everything I have over the last month and change in this event. I hope you all enjoy!

[ASLA ADAPT @AdaptAsla]

We call on academic programs to: “Teach students to engage with community members not through short-sighted participation efforts that only extract time, knowledge, and capital, but rather by forming reciprocal partnerships that extend beyond a semester...”

[ASLA ADAPT @AdaptAsla]

“The profession must develop standards of ethics that promote the dismantling of design techniques that result in the dehumanization of Black people. We cannot design places and spaces that establish the preconditions of violence or reinforce the carceral state.”

[ASLA ADAPT @AdaptAsla]

“Black student enrollment in BLA programs is 4.4% and just 2.7% in MLA programs. Black landscape architects make up only 3% of practitioners. These numbers are unacceptable.” Read the full letter at https://t.co/f3hCce3j8d

[ASLA ADAPT @AdaptAsla]

“We must come out in clear solidarity with those standing up to injustice, we most hold our profession accountable and take transformative and actionable steps to uphold and amplify agendas within the Black Lives Matter movement” https://t.co/BLqZ3mI5ns

[ASLA ADAPT @AdaptAsla]

The concerns addressed in the letter, as well as many other pressing issues within landscape architecture, are the subject of Cut/Fill 2020, organized by Ink Landscape Architects, PLLC, @the_UrbanStudio tomorrow, July 23-24. You can purchase tickets here. https://t.co/Ou17stZsMt
