BIPOC

Caucus

Community Charge

It is important for marginalized groups to have exclusive spaces where they can come together for purposes of healing, sharing, and organization. The Boston Library Consortium's Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Community of Interest (EDI COI) has established caucuses for underrepresented library workers or LIS students (at any level) in the the United States.

Those who identify as Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) may register for a caucus using the links below.
