Speaking Freely: Alison Macrina
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/12/speaking-freely-alison-macrina
Alison Macrina is an activist librarian and the director of Library Freedom Project (LFP). LFP is radically rethinking the library professional organization by creating a network of values-driven librarian-activists taking action together to build information democracy. LFP offers trainings, resources, and community building for librarians on issues of privacy, surveillance, intellectual freedom, labor rights, power, technology, and more—helping create safer, more private spaces for library patrons to feed their minds and express themselves. Alison started LFP in 2015 to organize and build community with other librarians who are dedicated to library values of privacy, intellectual freedom, social responsibility, and the public good. Their work is informed by a social justice, feminist, anti-racist approach, and they believe in the combined power of long-term collective organizing and short-term, immediate harm reduction. Library Freedom Project was also a 2023 EFF Award recipient, and we were excited for this opportunity to get Alison’s views on the interaction between freedom of expression and power, the vitally important role of libraries and librarians as defenders and facilitators of freedom of expression and access to information, and so much more.
