It is not an attempt to get emails and names. It is simply a petition to show a need for sexual harassment awareness. I am petitioning for the library profession as a whole to take sexual harassment seriously and treat it with the same importance that is placed on intellectual freedom. No one is sponsoring the situation and the first logical step as far as I am concerned is to acknowledge the importance of awareness. I hope this clarifies things.
