It was 5 kinds of good to be joined by the community at Online PACTcon 2020, to reflect together on equity advancing values in action.
Thanks to @PACTtweets for having us (@Cole_Metis @BelladonnaNHP) AND Yvette Nolan! Humdinger of a day, I tells ya.

ALT (text on a backdrop of white lily petal) Calling You In. TOKENISM You are receiving this card because you have used a BIPOC artist's image in a manner suggestive of diverse representation within your organization. The person who sent you this card hopes that you intend to make the internal changes that would justify the visual implication. You should know that the use of this image may put the artist pictured in the unfair position of feeling compelled to speak to your diversity from loyalty, gratitude or good manners. Please honestly consider how you arrived at the choice to to use this image in this way. You may want to consider: -An apology. -Regularly engaging with BIPOC folk. -Examining how your organization implicitly facilitates exclusion. -Talking with a trusted colleague about the distance between your intention and impact. -Exploring ways to destabilize power in your process so that dissent is not unwelcome".
Thanks to:
@linanneblack for design
@BelladonnaNHP for text and
Yvette Nolan for dramaturgy.

Having spent a few years in amiskwaciwâskahikan, it is extra special to be spending time with BIPOC, Deaf, disabled, and other equity-seeking artists of Alberta. Thank you all for today! @TheatreAlberta @AdHocAssembly

Thanks to all who've contributed to the ever-growing list of POC artists & cultural innovators. It demonstrates the continued resilience of those who have made & continue making an impact on the arts in Canada today.

So if you’re noticing that you’re missing that feeling of collective togetherness right now, ask who has been excluded from that in past? And don’t you want everyone to be able to experience the magic that you’re missing right now?
We can best prepare ourselves for meaningful action by staying informed. Perhaps it would be useful to hear from the negotiating teams about what is actually on the table.
(@PACTtweets @CAEA_Council: AD HOC would be happy to facilitate this if you’re game)

Adjust online meeting styles to suit the needs of the group. I’ve seen neurodivergent fks meetings really benefit from active use of the chat. But that use of chat is going to be really terrible for anyone using screen readers. Be observant and adjust to what your people need
