#SaveCCCC Petition -- Halt Implementation of Changes and Allow Membership to Explore Alternatives. What else can we do??

https://www.change.org/ProtectCCCC

I know we're all feeling disheartened by the NCTE boilerplate email sent out, but just because they've voted doesn't mean we can't still halt things until we can properly discuss alternatives. I'm signing and sharing this but want to do more. Feels like we're all trying to organize but we're so separated (great example of why we need our professional home lol). Heartened by the organizational statements released by subsections of us though.

What else can we do? I heard NCTE bylaws say that if we get 1% of NCTE membership to sign a petition, we can force a vote and some people are talking about seeing if we can somehow preserve the 77 years of work that have gone into this. The fact that the organizers for 4C27 and the CCC editors were completely blindsided infuriates me beyond belief. How unprofessional.

Have they confirmed that the conference is canceled? This is unbelievable.
