is AAG a democratic member organization? how common was AAG member resolution proposal and voting in the past? in 1990, AAG considered an amendment to allow resolutions to be brought within *24 hours* of the annual business meeting! here's Neil Smith:

can confirm the exhibition acknowledges this too!

seems like there's plenty of amnesia about the history of membership democracy in the AAG. we used to vote on things as simple as a $5 increase in dues!

here's another resolution -- against nuclear war -- passed in 1986. note that the AAG seemed unafraid to "prepare news releases on the resolution for national and international news organizations, and that copies be sent to Congress, other officials, and learned societies."

something to keep in mind as the AAG may or may not be heading towards a resolution concerning BDS. in 1978, the executive council and members voted to only hold the AAG annual meeting in states who had ratified the equal rights amendment, an action they understood as "economic sanctions."

posted this on the other site, but I'd have been absolutely mortified if my first in-text block quote wrongly cited page 118 instead of 1,018

but this was actually prompted by this, which is confounding to me. *some* organizers who think of themselves as organizing-the-unorganized... but the below frame seems to go against the alternately accepted idea that there is no such thing as "unorganized."
