Dear all
Update on NYT full page of architects supporting Black Lives Matter.
A new option with NYT is to have a full page not on a specific date but some day during a week. This would cost about 50K, a considerable savings. However, it still means we need about 500, architects that are willing to be part of this Dear all

Update on NYT full page of architects supporting Black Lives Matter.
A new option with NYT is to have a full page not on a specific date but some day determined by NYT during a week. This would cost about 50K, a considerable savings. However, it still means we need about 500, architects that are willing to be part of this to keep the cost below 100. for each.
At the moment we have about 100, so need 400 more.
Please refer this request to other architects that would be willing to support this cause. I am including the initial request below.
Thanks for all the thoughtful comments, a lot to digest.

A thought:
Could architects join together to pay for a full-page Sunday New York Times page that states that "Black Lives Matter"?
The page would list all people in our profession that agree to have their names printed and who believe in this statement.
This is a moral issue not a political issue for our profession to articulate where we stand.
It would not be the first time a New York Times page as was done during the Vietnam War with a long list of architects who opposed the war.
Comments?
If there is interest, I can find out costs and dates for page.
Peace/Thanks
