The Door Is Open Wide

Hey, remember my summary of how the OTW has failed to take the anti-racist action it promised?

Here's something everyone can actually do about it! runpunkrun has put together a letter-writing campaign - I'll copy their intro here:

It's FEBRUARY and you know what that means! That's right, it's been six months since the OTW published its Vision Statement 2022-2025. During that time there's been little communication of the progress being made on those goals despite one of those goals being increased transparency. Let's hold the OTW to its word.

There's an example of the email Punk wrote (the form only takes 1000 characters), and some more resources here:

Hold the OTW to its word.

I haven't had the time to do this myself yet - far too little sleep and many, many things to do right now, and I want to make sure my letter is as thoughtful as possible. But it's such a quick and easy thing, and it would mean so much to see some kind of acknowledgement from the OTW that their actions on racism matter. So please, especially if you're an ally - if you've ever felt that you wish you could do something to help? This is a thing you can do to help.
