President’s Message: Supporting Our Colleagues

Recent events have shocked, disturbed, and frightened many of us. Many of our members, particularly astronomers of color and LGBTIQ astronomers, are suffering at this moment. I encourage all of our members to be mindful as you reach out to support our colleagues during these difficult times. The AAS's commitment to ensuring a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all astronomers is enshrined in Article XI of our bylaws, and I encourage all members to uphold these principles at their home institutions.
