In the wake of the disappointing discussion on the mailing list earlier this year, we have put together an open letter expressing our frustration with AoIR's response and seeking ways to build solidarity: it is available here <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsxXuwTFHM1HrdyVgJ4F7oC4dzby2orT5UW1ejbwqVKGMRFw/viewform?usp=sf_link> . This letter remains open for anyone from the broad AoIR community to sign: whether you are a current or past member, have attended conferences online or in person, or are on the mailing list. It is clear that this mailing list will not be a good space for discussing Palestine, and that the executive have decided to shut down further discussion. If you are interested in solidarity efforts, we therefore invite you to sign the letter and/or join the solidarity affinity group linked to in the letter rather than engaging in any discussion here. Yours in sorrow and in solidarity, sky.
