Welcome to the Just Mathematics Collective newsletter. This is our (roughly) monthly round-up of news about our campaigns and activities, suggestions for how you can help, and reading we've found useful recently. --- Signal boosts -- New details from our Math Minus Militarism friends re: JMM 2025: Join us in disrupting JMM 2025!! We have a special Math Minus Militarism BINGO [1] setup with activities for you! Throughout the conference, we will ask you to complete the tasks on the math BINGO and upload it to social media with the #MathMinusMilitarism hashtag and tag @JointMath. These activites will * disrupt the "business as usual" of the AMS and their friends at the NSA and * build community with like-minded mathematicians who are tired of how deep militarism runs in our academic community. Here is a copy of the BINGO sheet [1]. Here are the instructions [2] that will go with the BINGO cards. There you can find events we would like you to see you at (including events on Wednesday morning)! Join us at the community organizing panel if you have any questions. In case you want inspiration, here is a recap [3] of what happened last year at JMM! Until Tuesday, you are encouraged to share the bingo card and instructions privately with friends, and on Tuesday we encourage you to share the information publicly such as on social media. In Solidarity, MMM --- Check out this letter by a group of mathematicians calling on math organizations to provide hybrid options in conferences. The letter was sent to the Notices of the AMS and to MAA Focus together with the list of signatories in September. You can read the letter here: https://sites.google.com/view/hybridmathconferences --- Digest of the JMC twitter --- https://x.com/jm_collective/status/1854531299886703037 https://x.com/jm_collective/status/1847011394064892166 --- Ongoing JMC campaigns/how you can help: --- 1. Cut ties between mathematicians and the NSA: https://www.justmathematicscollective.net/nsa_statement.html. Please sign the statement and take the pledges if you haven't already, and share with your colleagues. 2. Support the USACBI academic boycott of Israeli institutions: https://www.justmathematicscollective.net/USACBI_statement.html. Please register your pledge. --- As always, please feel free to contact us at justmathematicscollective at inventati.org with any questions, comments, or suggestions, including materials and campaigns for us to consider including in next month's newsletter. - JMC newsletter team -- Just Mathematics Collective https://www.justmathematicscollective.net/ https://twitter.com/jm_collective?lang=en Links: ------ [1] https://drive.proton.me/urls/8MD1QV49CM#mW6jazorLfVr [2] https://drive.proton.me/urls/GZQXR39AE0#Yfza1kyRuawy [3] https://drive.proton.me/urls/YB2M1RPQVR#UR64MRkfBapR -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
