Dear All,
I am pleased to share "A call for Ivy+ libraries to divest from police and 
prisons and invest in life-giving 
resources<https://ablaivy.medium.com/a-call-for-ivy-libraries-to-divest-from-police-and-prisons-and-invest-in-life-giving-resources-fdd5889270df>."
 This call is part of a larger movement for police-free libraries and was 
written in collaboration with library workers at other Ivy+ institutions. 
Please read, sign, and share!

This effort would not have been possible without previous calls to action from 
students, faculty, and staff at institutions across the country, as well as the 
labor and leadership of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ theorists, activists, and 
communities.

For those who are willing/able to share, please feel free to use this email as 
a template and I have pasted a suggestion for a Twitter post below. Finally, 
here are some helpful links:
