Los Angeles Archivists Collective Statement of Solidarity with Palestine
LAAC STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY WITH PALESTINE

*Dear LAAC Community:*


As a *genocide in Palestine*

unfolds at this very moment, we look to history to remind us that the root
of violence is injustice. We grieve with our Palestinian and Jewish
communities for all lives lost, and we stand in solidarity with the
liberation of Palestine. Support of the Palestinian people is *not*
antisemitism. It is urgent to be informed and intentional about the
narratives we share.


As archivists, it is our duty to preserve history, provide access to
evidence, and promote social awareness. As such, we are compelled to
acknowledge the historical context underlying the violence in Palestine
today. History shows us that this violence  did not start on October 7th,
2023. It emerged from 75 years of occupation, apartheid, and ethnic
cleansing of the Palestinian people by the settler colonial state of
Israel.


So, to serve our collective learning and liberation, we offer a list of
resources, some of which are archives specific and some of which are not.


We add our voices to those of activists, students, and people from all
faiths and walks of life speaking out against the ongoing genocide. As
information workers, we also express our concern at the rising number of
cases of censorship and the stifling of free speech about Palestine and
Palestinian human rights. We unequivocally uphold our right to freedom of
speech and protection from censorship and harassment.


Collectively, we can use our skills and knowledge to cut through campaigns
of misinformation, which we recognize as the manifestation of racism and
Islamophobia. Spread awareness on social media. Protect each other during
protests by blurring faces in photos to keep identities private. Donate
funds, sign petitions, and call your representatives.


LAAC is committed to dismantling systems of oppression, white supremacy,
and colonialism everywhere.


*In solidarity, *
