Organizers say their aims align with the BMA’s goals to remake the museum into a more equitable, accessible, diverse, and inclusive institution. In a statement to BmoreArt, museum director Chris Bedford affirmed their shared interests: “I do believe that museums need to better reflect and serve their communities, and that our community includes our staff. In hearing from so many colleagues over the course of the past few weeks, it is certain that we all share a commitment to the BMA’s DEAI goals and agenda for change. This has driven a mutual willingness to engage in conversation about the possibility of unionization at the museum and to move through this process collaboratively to achieve an outcome that reflects the vision of the majority of the staff.”
