today is National Library Workers Day, and i am asking you to support library workers by
-using your #library (it matters!);
-defending library workers against the ongoing efforts to intimidate, silence, and criminalize them;
-advocating for better pay for them. đ
Vermont Library Association Statement of Support of the Institute of Museum and Library Services
"Eliminating IMLS would jeopardize the future of public libraries as inclusive, accessible community anchors."
(I might have gone angrier but I agree with this sentiment)
and of course the United States of America, the country that invented the #adoption industry and perfected the legal framework for trafficking babies into the eager arms of adopters, will conduct no serious investigation into these human-rights crimes.
Nor would it under a âprogressiveâ government.
what was true to a horrifically extreme degree in postwar Korea is true of adoption generally: it is a privatized alternative to the provision of social welfare for vulnerable and resourceless pregnant people.
#adoption is a way that society turns its back on these people.
intercountry #adoption is human trafficking for profit. âadoptabilityâ means âreadiness for sale.â
