Any catalogers want to write an AJL support for the subject heading change? I'm happy to help with whatever ALA stuff has to happen in my role as Co-Liaison, but I don't feel comfortable being the one to support the change. Thanks, Emily

Additional Context from SRIDP: In 2021, a group of ALA members drafted a communication request to change the subject heading "illegal aliens." After months of no clear answers, the group went to the Legislation Committee chair to request support in communicating with the ALA Washington Office and with the Library of Congress. It was then announced on November 12th, 2021 that, "at today's Library of Congress Subject Editorial Meeting. Beacher Wiggins, Director for Acquisitions & Bibliographic Access at the Library of Congress, said that the subject heading "aliens" will be replaced by "noncitizens" and the subject heading "illegal aliens" replaced by "illegal immigration." While a step in the right direction, the newly subject heading focused on the action with the use of "illegal" and takes away the humanity of undocumented individuals. For 2022, we are looking to gather other ALA members to help draft and support a new resolution that will request that the subject heading of "illegal immigration" to be changed to "undocumented residents/noncitizens." This revised subject heading keeps the humanity of the individuals affected by their circumstances and moves away from categorizing them by specific actions, but rather focuses on their shared identities while residing in the United States of America. ------------------------------ Kevin Strowder Director MPS/Diversity American Library Association He/Him/His ------------------------------ *Forward <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://connect.ala.org/communities/all-discussions/forwardmessages?MessageKey=dbda89d3-2cbd-4804-a0a0-095f2e871747&ListKey=da9bef91-842f-43ee-8b28-52567308eb8c__;!!KGKeukY!l9k-3P8zp_05S7QTiApV_kusDWEMLDzqZbHv4RZCp4xIZ3LnhoquxjRsObNhiYlh4eI$ >* You are subscribed to "ALA Affiliates" as emilyanneberg...@gmail.com.
