A Call for Ivy+ Libraries to Divest from Police and Prisons and Invest in Life-Giving Resources
Remember to imagine and craft the worlds you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the ones you cannot live within. — Ruha Benjamin
In early June, in the wake of the murders of George Floyd in Minnesota, Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia, and Breonna Taylor in Kentucky, library organizations and directors issued statements condemning racism and racial violence. A statement from the Association of Research Libraries implored that “[i]t is incumbent upon leaders of libraries and archives to examine our institutions’ role in sustaining systems of inequity that have left Black communities and other people of color in the margins of every aspect of our profession.” From such statements, meaningful actions have taken place in order to create positive change, and we applaud and support these. However, we believe libraries have not gone far enough in this examination by refusing to fully consider our relationships with policing, surveillance, and the prison–industrial complex. These library statements do not explicitly name policing itself as the problem — an expression and exacerbation of racial capitalism and violence — despite it being a very real and dire existential threat to Black, Indigenous, and other people of color (BIPOC), as well as those in the LGBTQIA+ community. Therefore, we find these statements morally and politically insufficient responses. Without naming the specific problem of policing, these statements not only let libraries off the hook for the many ways in which we have internalized the practices of the carceral state in our profession, but also leave the door open for “both sides’’ arguments or appeals to “law and order,” and encourage dangerous and ineffective reforms. The solution to police violence is not reform but an abolition of policing in all its forms. Therefore, we call on the leadership of our institutions and all of our colleagues to embrace an abolitionist vision of a hopeful, life-affirming future and to immediately begin the work of divesting from police and prisons with the ultimate goal of the complete abolition of law enforcement and surveillance from library spaces, campuses, communities — in short, everywhere.
1. Support Existing Student, Staff, Faculty, and Community Petitions & Movements
We stand in solidarity with demands for campus police abolition and divestment put forth by local student, staff, faculty, and community groups from across our collective institutions. These include, but are not limited to, the following demands: sever all relationships — formal and informal — with local police departments as demanded by student and community activist groups at Johns Hopkins University, Northwestern University, University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Chicago; make publicly available all campus police budgets, spending, and data as demanded by student and community activist groups at Cornell University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northwestern University, University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Chicago; disarm, defund, and disband campus police as demanded by student and community activist groups at Cornell University, Harvard University, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University; halt all efforts to create private campus police forces as demanded by student and community activist groups at Johns Hopkins University; and make reparations to those harmed by both campus policing and university policies rooted in gentrification and displacement (i.e. eminent domain), as demanded by student and community activist groups at Northwestern University and the University of Chicago. We demand that our university and college libraries formally endorse these demands and stand in support with these groups towards a police-free future.
2. Make Transparent Current Police & Police-Like Activities
In order to support calls for defunding the police and for re-investing in life-giving resources, we first need transparency at all levels of our institutions around existing law enforcement budgets, investments, and activities. We demand that library leadership join us in asking our universities to release the budgets of their private police forces as well as any funding dedicated to local, state, federal, and off-duty law enforcement agencies. We also demand that library leadership at each institution release a full report on the roles that any and all law enforcement agencies play in library spaces and policies, including the library’s own security practices and policies, such as incident-reporting and video surveillance. We demand that libraries facilitate and demonstrate transparency in our institutional endowment investments in the prison–industrial complex. In order to build and sustain transformative justice practices that align with the core ethical tenets of librarianship — centering the care, privacy, and thriving of library patrons and staff — we seek increased autonomy from and the eventual abolition of policing in library spaces.
3. Join, Build, & Sustain A World Without Policing
Many people will acknowledge the harm done by police and law enforcement but question the safety implications of defunding and divesting from policing on campus. But reporting from police forces shows that law enforcement and surveillance do not keep campuses safe. As Black organizers across the country have been declaring in the streets, “We keep us safe.” Therefore, we demand that library leadership remove any reliance on law enforcement as a means of addressing conflicts that arise in all library spaces by 2022. Every library should be empowered to develop approaches responsible to its community — there is no one size fits all approach to de-escalation and transformative justice — though these approaches must be trauma-informed and must not involve police and punishment. The good news is that each of our communities already have groups on and off campus (see “Abolition Resources” below) doing the hard work of building a culture of accountability and care. We demand that library leadership work with these community groups to create library policies that draw on restorative justice and harm reduction frameworks. These policies must address both interactions with patrons and interactions between staff, who are also harmed by policing and surveillance.
4. Confront the Connection Between Policing & Anti-Blackness
Abolition of police and prisons is intimately tied to and inseparable from the Movement for Black Lives. If, as our institutions have repeatedly and rightly stated, Black Lives Matter, then our institutions need both to understand and dismantle the white supremacist practices that perpetuate and exacerbate anti-Blackness in America. Therefore, we demand that any work related to “diversity and inclusion” center an abolitionist praxis that admits to and confronts the structural existence and effects of racial capitalism and anti-Black, state-sponsored violence both within and beyond our institutions. Policing in America was founded in slave patrols, settler colonial violence, and the protection of property, and these remain the ever-expanding and hyper-funded legacies and practices of so-called modern policing, which has shaped our schools, libraries, hospitals, and many other should-be life-giving spaces and institutions. Without confronting this history and reality, without actively undoing while building and funding permanent and sustainable futures based in abolitionist praxis and community cooperation, librarianship as a profession and our institutions will remain complicit in a culture of surveillance and violence against BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ lives.
5. Divest Library Resources from Police & Invest in Our Communities
We demand that our libraries immediately divest from all financial, material, and intellectual support for policing and law enforcement, including ending current practices such as actively collecting police records in archives, using or cooperating with law enforcement as part of library security practices and policies, hiring of law enforcement for special events, collaborating with campus police in library outreach activities, allocating staff time and collection budgets in support of police programs, and any other activities that support law enforcement. We demand that library leadership interrogate the police-to-public safety pipeline, as evident in university practices of recruiting for library positions from law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, we demand that this divestment be followed by a reinvestment in BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ students and local communities, trauma-informed mental health services, and resources for building and sustaining transformative justice practices within and beyond our libraries in collaboration with campus and surrounding communities. We demand that all collection development — from the stacks to special collections — center an abolitionist praxis of care and community responsibility that enables all library workers and patrons to participate in the memory work necessary for confronting systems of oppression and building a better world.
6. Ban Surveillance Technologies in Library Spaces
As an institution, the library prides itself on its commitment to privacy and safeguarding intellectual freedom, while simultaneously surveilling its patrons and staff. We demand that libraries address this disconnect by working toward banning surveillance technologies in library spaces. We demand that libraries immediately make transparent to patrons all instances of surveillance, reduce surveillance technology, and eliminate any access or stewardship that police may have over surveillance records without a warrant. We must develop and enact policies that protect patron and staff privacy, and we must eliminate any policies that police or profile our users. We also call for the refusal of data practices that aid or precipitate the policing, surveillance, or tracking of our patrons and staff. We demand the development of data policies and practices that draw on feminist and decolonial praxis. We demand the ultimate refusal of any use of police technologies, surveillance technologies, and data practices that cause harm.
7. Divest from Companies that Use Prison Labor
Along with divestment from policing and law enforcement, we demand that our libraries advocate for divestment from the broader prison–industrial complex. Libraries should facilitate information sharing and assessment of our universities’ endowment investments in private prisons as a first step toward divestment. These investments are often obfuscated and difficult to identify and assess, and our libraries should partner with student-led and other campus divestment movements. Additionally, we demand that library administrators specifically disallow library projects from using prison labor programs and institute library procurement policies that prohibit purchases from such programs or vendors relying on them by 2022. Library leadership should also assess and end our institutional reliance on web-based vendor services that rely on prison investment and the labor of incarcerated people.
Conclusion
We recognize that librarianship, an overwhelmingly white profession, has systematically marginalized BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and librarians with disabilities. The conceptualization of our demands would not be possible without the labor and leadership of these very librarians, theorists, activists, and communities. We also recognize the privilege and power held by Ivy+ and other major research libraries, and thus, it is imperative that we use our privilege to speak out against library practices that cause harm. We build from and stand in solidarity with abolitionist movements happening in all library spaces. We believe in order to fully embody the ethics of librarianship it is necessary to align with the practices and aims of abolition. We hope many more voices will join us in signing onto these demands and in this bold and beautiful work of dreaming, demanding, and being in a better world. Reckoning with our own histories of and complicity in white supremacy and anti-Black racism is in the best interest not only of our institutions and patrons but our profession at large. Libraries are not neutral, nor should they be silent — but we’ve heard, seen, and spoken enough — solidarity is not found in statements, but in actions, and the time to act is now.
