He accused me of doxxing ppl and called me a “hypocrite.” I have been doxxed, trolled, harassed, incl among my so-called colleagues at this conf, threatened at MPOW...if this is what it means to be a Black woman committed to social justice in this profession, then idk.

I’ve reported incident to Conference Services. And in the meantime, the person in question has apparently angry quit on the Council listserv. That’s something, I guess, but I’m still shaking.

Thank you all so much for the check ins and support. I really appreciate it. Determined to have some sushi before I leave the Pacific NW so I’m slinking out to grab food and slinking back to my room again. Then calling it a night. I’m done with this day.

Good morning. Just had a meeting with ALA leadership in which they are trying to scare me of off talking publicly ABOUT MY VICTIMIZATION by suggesting I could face LEGAL liability. That is some VICTIM-BLAMING BULLSHIT. Made to a LAWYER no less.

I made it clear to them that the real liability lies with them for not protecting me. They were verbal attacks this time but I was and am terrified it could be more. They want to silence me as a victim. I will not accept that. Spread the word. ALA, this is UNACCEPTABLE.

I'm sorry, April. Both the tirade and the lack of intervention are unacceptable.

This is horrible. He has no idea what you have had to deal with. I am so angry hearing this. I am sorry you had to deal with him.

April, you’re one of the bests we have. There is no excuse for that kind of behavior (or lack of coming to your aid) and I’m so so so sorry.

Cowards. Many are standing with you.

Cowards is right. Being surprised isn’t an excuse for not speaking up or standing up.
