The Executive Board of the Information Technology and Politics section of the American Political Science Association, which I am honored to chair this year, has released a statement of support and action plan on racial justice and equality in response to, and as a contribution to addressing, the ongoing debate on racial injustice in the United States and around the world.
This statement was a genuine team effort for which the whole executive board deserves credit. While we have a long way to go, as a section and a discipline, to ensure we begin to diminish the presence and effects of systemic racism, we also have a clear shared purpose that this statement enshrines and commits us to implement, and be held accountable for.
