Labor Equity Day! We are asking you to block out time on your calendar, 3-4pm EST, to 1. email the American Cultural Resource Association and American Alliance of Museums to ask them to require compensation information for their job boards and to take a firm stance against unpaid internships. Not sure what to write? This link will help you. 2. Hop on the Dismantle Preservation Discord and talk to about both organizations that are making positive shifts in the workplace and to discuss workplace shortcomings in the cultural resource field. 3. Sign the National Emerging Museum Professionals Network petition!
