What if we treated our community partners like we treated our donors? - @anniessafatima , Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is #CollectiveLiberation

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: https://t.co/OJh0hU9amH

Abuse happens when objects are more important than people, it’s as simple as that.

And that’s also why everything is collapsing.

Welcome to social media, @museumaction !! #MuseumAsSiteForSocialAction #MuseumsAreNotNeutral

[MASS Action @museumaction]

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? https://t.co/ZyRLUxux4X

👋 Update thread! We want to let you know what’s been happening behind the scenes these past few weeks. We’ve been quiet in order to rest, focus on some backend organizing, and plan for the future of #MuseumWorkersSpeak. (1)

@aletheiajane Hugs to you, Aletheia. ❤️ This is so hard to read. You are such a force in the field. Please let me know if there is anything I can do!!

@magmidd I feel like the public considers art museums as liberal/left of center, meanwhile, art museums are out here embodying some of the most centrist, neo-liberal, austere internal policies and practices in the game.

@heideland @artsmia I'm crushed, Heidi. Thank you for your brilliance, advocating for and modeling how to get messy in equity work, your warmth and your generosity. I'm really going to miss working together. Please stay in touch ❤️

[#MuseumWorkersSpeak @MuseumWorkers]

Just in case you're not furiously refreshing the #MuseumWorkersFund gofundme page like we are, fyi we're past half way to our $50,000 goal!

We even made this fancy thermometer as proof!! 😆

Keep it coming everyone, you're all amazing.

@prisonculture your work has been so formative for me in understanding and practicing transformative justice. It is a honor to cite you in the museum context! (Lots of overlap with prison abolition work honestly)

[union member, teacher @theresemquinn]

@anniessafatima linking abolition to cultural work, quoting @prisonculture. What is the imagined future? What are we building toward? #MuseumsAndRace2020

[Anniessa ⵣ @anniessafatima]

The conversation with Ivan Guzman, Liliana Macias, Nancy Villafranca and @theresemquinn as part of @MuseumsandRace #ImagineARadicalFuture is phenomenal. I’m so appreciative to learn about the justice-centered cultural work that everyone is working on!! Inspired! A lutta continua!

[#MuseumWorkersSpeak @MuseumWorkers]

Huge thank you to our partners at @MuseumsandRace for supporting the #MuseumWorkersFund! 🤩

[Anniessa ⵣ @anniessafatima]

Yes! Now's the time to get that #MuseumsAreNotNeutral goodie you've been wanting and help support #MuseumWorkersSpeak Relief Fund <3

@wisestrategic Thought a lot about this. If this audience doesn’t have internet for economic reasons were you already serving and gaining attendance from them before you closed your physical space? How are you meeting this audience where they are not what we think they’re looking for?
