[Just Mathematics Collective newsletter]

Hello!

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.

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:
