The LLNE and SNELLA Service Committees are happy to announce two ways for you to give back in conjunction with the Virtual Fall 2020 Meeting on Dismantling Bias.
First, you can donate to the RE∙Center, an organization that works to promote racial equality in education. The RE∙Center offers anti-racism programming to students, educators, and the community. For more information on the RE∙Center, visit https://re-center.org/. To make a donation, go to https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E331556&id=1 select “I would like to dedicate this donation”, and type in LLNE Service Project.
Hold onto your receipt! Soon, we will be announcing a great virtual event to raise funds for Re-Center and we want you to be part of it. More information to come…
The committees are also promoting a number of transcription projects through the Library of Congress. The transcription process is easy and just a few pages can make a huge difference in discovery and education. Check out the following transcription projects:
- Connecticut Suffrage Association (this is 1 of 21 parts)
- New England Woman Suffrage Association
- New England Women’s Club
- Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association
Click on a link, choose a page, and start typing away. Before you know you will be submitting pages that will be more accessible to everyone. What are you waiting for! Get transcribing.
If you have any questions, please contact the LLNE Service Committee chair at jessica.almeida@umassd.edu.
