# Conversation about librarianship and advocacy

## October 26, 2020

I was invited by an Argentinean organisation to discuss in an event called "*Librarianship and politics: incompatibility or political illiteracy*". Librarians from Mexico, Argentina, Chile and Colombia met to think about a neutral role of libraries.

## The context

In [this link you can find the blog post of the event in Spanish](http://sindicalizandonos.blogspot.com/2020/10/conversatorio-bibliotecologia-y-politica_26.html) with the poster and two videos of our conversation. I was invited by *Sindicalizándonos*, a professional group working to create a union interested in advocacy for librarians.

After this conversation, I was invited as well to [their podcast to discuss in deep some ideas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSZPaeTni04). It happened couple of days after our first meeting and I had the opportunity to develop some ideas shared with my colleagues.

## The videos and the podcast
