Taking Back Our Museums: #MuseumsAreNotNeutral Continues
The Good News:
Thanks to hundreds of supporters we raised $5669.79 for the Southern Poverty Law Center!
Today Mike Murawski and I relaunched our #MuseumsAreNotNeutral campaign to keep the dialogue going as we challenge the myth of museum neutrality. Letting everyone know that museums are shaped by and participate in sociopolitical arenas is the first of many steps to making our museums equity-centered institutions.
Now we are offering a few more colors and the proceeds will support Unidos Por Puerto Rico, United for Puerto Rico, an initiative providing assistance to those in Puerto Rico affected by the passage of Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Maria.
If you can, please purchase a shirt and share your pics with our hashtag #MuseumsAreNotNeutral.
