Justice for Joslyn

On March 16, 2024, our dear friend and widely esteemed colleague Joslyn Bowling Dixon was abruptly stripped of her position as Executive Director of Oak Park Public Library, the culmination of a misinformation campaign that led to the public violation of the Open Meetings Act by the library board. Here is an up-to-date account of the events the lead up to Joslyn's termination, and a recording the full board meeting - https://stackedthoughts.substack.com/p/what-is-going-on-at-oak-park-public

We as Joslyn's friends and colleagues have come together to set up this fund to help her family bridge the gap between now and next steps. We all know how devastating it is to lose one's livelihood while also looking into legal paths forward, and the time it can take to find new employment. Please give what you can to help us seek justice for Joslyn.

Joslyn pledges 10% of all donations to the Merritt Fund (https://www.ala.org/aboutala/affiliates/relatedgroups/merrittfund/merritthumanitarian).
