OTW Update

Speaking up works: the OTW has promised to release a public statement addressing racism. While I wish it hasn't taken this much pressure to get them to act, and of course we'll have to see 1. what they actually say and 2. how the statement is followed up with action, I'm cautiously pleased to see them reverse course on their policy of silence.

That said, I think it's still worth keeping the pressure up, and this open letter is very good. I recommend reading it, and signing if you feel so moved. Also, board elections are coming up, and none of the candidates (there are six candidates for three positions) address racism in their statements. If you're an OTW member, you can submit questions for the candidates here.
