This work discusses the need for and value of immigrant rights advocacy in libraries and archives amid the xenophobic climate in 2017. Using action research, we set out to understand how members of the Latinx community in Boston responded to President Trump’s Executive Order 13768, Enhancing Public Safety in the Interior of the United States. Our focus on the Latinx community stems from our personal connections to it; however, our findings apply broadly to migrant communities and the intersectionality with multiple identities such as ethnicity, gender, legal status, and socioeconomic class. We argue that immigrant rights, and more generally civil and human rights, are indeed information issues, and archivists and librarians have a unique role to play in advocacy for oppressed communities. We identify records literacy instruction as critical for information organizations to prevent misinformation and to safeguard civil liberties and human rights during times of political turmoil.

移民权利倡导在拉丁裔社区中的记录素养

这项工作讨论了2017年仇外气候下图书馆和档案馆中移民权利倡导的必要性和价值。通过行动研究，我们着手了解波士顿拉丁裔社区成员如何回应特朗普总统的13768号行政命令，“增强公众意识”美国内部的安全性。我们对拉丁社区的关注源于我们与拉丁社区的个人联系。但是，我们的发现广泛适用于移民社区以及具有多种身份（例如种族，性别，法律地位和社会经济阶层）的交叉性。我们认为，移民权利，更普遍的是公民权利和人权，确实是信息问题，档案工作者和图书馆员在倡导被压迫社区方面可发挥独特作用。
