Community Letter of Support
Dear Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Board of Trustees and Leadership,
As members of the community, we stand with and support the employees who are organizing their union, Academy Museum Workers United.
We believe in every worker's legal right to organize their union, without fear of retaliation or interference from management. Creating a safe, respectful and equitable environment in which workers can speak freely and flourish is essential to the mission of the Academy Museum.
The Academy Museum is an active community center, which would not be possible without the labor of the museum workers. We strongly believe in the Academy Museum’s mission to embrace diversity and be radically inclusive and believe that when workers have a voice on the job, they lay the foundation for a more equitable institution.
We call on the Academy Museum’s administration to be neutral as the workers organize their union and to recognize them upon their demonstration of majority support.
