On December 9, the ALA Executive Board issued a statement in support of human rights and freedom of expression in Iran. In the statement, ALA expresses its solidarity with librarians, teachers, and others in the woman-led uprising in Iran for human rights, in which hundreds have died and thousands have been detained. It also encourages members to provide educational materials and other resources and tools to raise awareness in their communities of the current situation in Iran and to combat misinformation.
