    Museum Unions Enact Workplace Justice Zine - Interview with the Authors
    Jan 5 2026

    Sam and Gabe took a moment from the holidays to talk with Jessi Jones from the Academy Foundation, Emma Rose Rainville from the Esplanade Association, Adam Rizzo from the Penn Museum, and independent researcher Amanda Tobin Ripley about their recent work with Museums Moving Forward and the zine Museum Unions Enact Workplace Justice that they all co-authored with Josh Davis of the Seattle Art Museum.

    The zine dives into how museum union contracts have improved equity and justice in the field, and hopes to provide inspiration for future unionists in how they can use their own contracts to improve the field even further.
