<p>As noted in the Society of American Archivists’ June 2 <a href="https://www2.archivists.org/statements/saa-council-statement-on-black-lives-and-archives">Statement on Black Lives and Archives</a>, stated by the Council on June 2, the vitality of American
archives depends on the safety of archives workers and an explicit commitment to social responsibility, justice, and anti-racism in the work that we do and the organizations we work within. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The SAA Council is convening a forum of reflection to move toward healing and understanding. We invite the archives community to participate in a reflection on the continuation of anti-Black violence and an affirmation of the importance of Black lives. This
event is open to all.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p>The <a href="https://www2.archivists.org/statements/saa-code-of-conduct">SAA Code of Conduct</a> governs expectations of appropriate conduct for this and all SAA events. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The magnitude of support and interest from the archival profession toward the development of tools and resources to dismantle structural racism in our work is inspiring and powerful. We will also be hosting a facilitated planning forum to gather constructive
feedback and develop anti-racist goals in July 2020. We look forward to continuing this work with you.<o:p></o:p></p>
