#ShutDownSTEM
This is written with deep sorrow and acknowledgement of the work that needs to be done to abolish racism, religious intolerance, sexism, heteronormativity, ableism, colonialism, and the prejudices and barriers that intersect at all people’s multiple identities. We do this in the aftermath of the systemic racism that caused the murder and burial of George Floyd. Wednesday June 10 was put forward as #ShutDownSTEM and #ShutDownAcademia. We at eLearning Consortium of Colorado are the T (Technology) in STEM. This day asks us, especially those who are not Black, to look at direct action that we can take.
We’ve opened up a statement to our university and college members and we hope you contribute to it, if you wish. This is a working document. At bottom of the statement, there are additional areas to share whatever you want.

We acknowledge that this will always be a work in progress and a one-time statement is not enough.
At our monthly meeting on Friday June 26, we were joined by Shea Swauger, Auraria Campus Library, one of our eLCC conference keynotes, for a further discussion on the Prison to School Ed Tech Pipeline and current events and petitions regarding educational technology and our students.

We just finished up our 2020 eLCC Annual (VIRTUAL) Conference! We held the conference online this year in a virtual format which was FREE to everyone! We had over 1000 people register and we appreciate everything you brought to the conference. We are in the process of uploading the video from sessions, curating slides and the chat back channel. We have kept our CFPs, tracks and session up on the site so that anyone planning a virtual conference can either use or improve on what we did.
