In May @MuseumWorkers started #MuseumWorkersFund, redistributing donated funds to US-based museum workers severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. In our new episode, Suse speaks with @pablitasan @greenbergalyssa & Christian Ramirez about the fund. aam-us.org/2020/09/10/mus…

How have the events of the last few years impacted your role as a frontline staffer/volunteer in museums? Take our anonymous survey and let us know what is and isn't working for museums' most-seen faces: surveymonkey.com/r/nema-frontli… @CTLHO @Museopunks @MEArchivesMuseu @incluseum

The @Museopunks podcast offers stimulating discussions on hot topics in the museum field, covering everything from decolonization to virtual reality.

💸Update💸 Last week, we held a lottery to award 10 more $500 payments from the #MuseumWorkersFund. That brings our total pay out to $65,000 in mutual aid to colleagues who have been adversely affected by museums' responses to a global health and economic crisis. (1)

We are still accepting applications and contributions to the #MuseumWorkersFund. If you're fortunate enough to be able to give and support your museum family please consider doing so today!

Thank you so much to @Museopunks @shineslike for hosting members of @MuseumWorkers!

"A lot of [workers] were let go pretty violently and I think that this is a way to be able to let them know that they are still cared for actively.” -Christian Ramirez

There are lots of great groups and individuals working to support @MuseumWorkers on this project, including @museumaction @museumhue. You can contribute by purchasing a #MuseumsAreNotNeutral shirt

This is *such* important work and I'm glad to finally put this episode out into the world. It took a little longer than normal because, well, 2020 is tough. -suse

We are so pleased to hear that @TexasMuseums will now require salary information for all job posts. This is an important move to help shape a better field.

Welcome to the conversation! Lovely to hear your thoughts.

One of the most common requests coming through from people contacting me about mentoring is support around moving into people management / leadership roles. In this post I've pulled together some of the key resources I've relied on over the last 2 years best-of-3.blogspot.com/2020/05/mentor…

We’d love to hear from you if you’ve lost your job or had to make decisions about the jobs of others; if you’re frontline staff; if you can work from home, or can’t; if you’re in a management position; if you’re a Masters student or EMP; if you’re a consultant; if you have COVID

Whomever and wherever you are in the museum sector, we’d love to hear your story and share it, so we can make sense of this moment together.

Where are you? What is it like there? How are things changing in your life and work since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic?

We’re taking your submissions to the next episode of Museopunks now link.medium.com/hTjrwTdxz5

Tell us about your #MuseumsAndCoronavirus experience.

Be sure to take a listen to the latest @Museopunks. Good topic for the days we're in...and @DinaABailey kicks us off! aam-us.org/2020/03/20/mus…

Q9. Finally, how do you think museum podcasts could help make museums better? As museums reconsider their roles, their oppressive pasts, and their futures, what role do podcasts (or critical museum media in general) play? #MuseumHour #MuseumPodcasts
