SAMPLE MESSAGE
Dear OTW Board of Directors,
It has been 3 years since OTW promised to take action on racist harassment on AO3. I am writing as part of a movement of fans, and we are demanding action, transparency, and no further delays.
We are naming our fanworks on AO3 to include the words “End Racism in the OTW”, as well as sharing our support on social media, to back up our collective demands.
We want to see the results of your 3 years of work implemented within 3-12 months, including updates to the TOS to address racist harassment, hiring a Diversity Consultant, and committing to greater transparency on anti-racism work.
You can read our full Call to Action and our more detailed demands here: https://endotwracism.dreamwidth.org/293.html
The OTW has failed fans of color long enough. It’s time to act on racism so that OTW and AO3 are inclusive, safer spaces for fans of color.
