Statement of Support

In light of recent events, the PNC/MLA Group recognizes and strongly condemns anti-Asian hate crimes that have spread across our country over the past year.  The PNC/MLA Group aligns itself and affirms the Asian Pacific American Librarians Association’s (APALA) recent statement that condemns the increase in anti-Asian hate crimes across America in the last year.

PNC/MLA stands in solidarity with our Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities. We encourage our library community to stand with the AAPI community by publicly condemning anti-AAPI racism through action.  The PNC/MLA group highly recommends these resources compiled by the APALA.  

In Solidarity,

PNC/MLA Diversity Committee
