Today arXiv's staff pauses business-as-usual to join scientists participating in the #Strike4BlackLives and #ShutDownSTEM. Read our statement here: https://bit.ly/arXivStrike4BlackLives

Statement today from the American Physical Society:

"APS is closed today to stand in support and solidarity with the Black community and #Strike4BlackLives, and to commit to eradicating systemic racism and discrimination, especially in academia and science."

https://www.aps.org/programs/minorities/june10.cfm

Physicists from Particles for Justice #strike4blacklives in dialogue with astronomers to #shutdownSTEM and #shutdownacademia for at least the day of June 10.

CALL TO ACTION:
"It should go without saying that Black lives matter. Yet we find ourselves again mourning and raging over state and vigilante violence against Black people. The recent murders of Tony McDade, Breonna Taylor, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, George Floyd, and Ahmaud Arbery are just a few examples of the violence and racism that Black people live with every day -- and have for centuries -- in the US, Canada, and around the world. We acknowledge the ways in which the effects of anti-Black racism are compounded for people who are also, for example, women, trans, non-binary, queer, Indigenous to the lands occupied by the United States and Canada, Latinx, Muslim, Jewish, disabled, and/or undocumented. We demand justice, reform, and accountability now."

There will not be an arXiv mailing tonight, and the appearance of new papers will be delayed until after the #Strike4BlackLives.

It's simultaneously a small thing and also a sign from one of the day-to-day most significant institutions of my profession.

arXiv is one of the most important institutions in physics. Checking arXiv is a daily activity for myself and nearly every physicist I know. On Wednesday, arXiv will not be posting new papers, in solidarity with the #Strike4BlackLives.

Thank you @arxiv@twitter.com. https://blogs.cornell.edu/arxiv/2020/06/08/strike4blacklives/
