Public letter re the firing of the Archivist of the United States

By in post on .

[Patrice McDermott sent the following to GOVDOC-L. In the interest of time, I’m pasting her message below with just a touch of editing of the email addresses.]

As you may know, Trump has fired the Archivist of the United States, Colleen Shogan. Even though it is extremely unlikely Trump will reconsider firing Dr. Shogan, we should not let this moment pass without comment.

We’re hoping to get this out today – so please let Lauren Harper (leharper AT gmail DOT com or Lauren AT freedom DOT press) or Daniel Schuman (Daniel AT americalabs DOT org) know if you’d like to sign on by 3 ET today. Individual and orgnanizational signatories are welcomed. Please share with deadline.

Here is the draft letter.
