No. The issue isn’t trans people—it’s extreme wealth concentration. The richest 1% hold nearly a third of the nation’s wealth while disregarding public welfare and conspiring to end democratic governance.

The 75th Annual Conference of the International Communication Association (#ICA25), set for 12-16 June in Denver Colorado, USA, is shaping up to be ICA’s largest conference yet, tracking with Toronto and Paris in terms of preregistration numbers. At the same time, we are closely monitoring the evolving situation in the United States which has raised concerns for some members of the ICA community intending to participate. We recognize your concerns regarding the uncertain environment and appreciate your feedback and perspectives.

We affirm ICA’s dedication to a global exchange of knowledge and perspectives and protecting the free exchange of ideas among our members and attendees. Current rhetoric and actions in some US communities run counter to ICA’s commitment to ensuring the full and equal participation of all members of our global academic community and conflict directly with ICA's IDEA principles.

Our immediate plan includes the following interventions, which aim to preserve your right as scholars to freely present your work and collaborate with your peers:

As always, we have made standard invitation letters for visa purposes available via the submission website: you can find your letter attached to your profile in ScholarOne (the submission system). As of 19 February, we have done a new run of all letters without the title of the paper(s) mentioned; papers are identified by submission ID number so that your research topics are not mentioned. You may find these new letters in your profile as well.

The fact that this communication is now necessary ... for conferences happening in the *US* ... shocking.

Heißt "Kompromiss" in der Politik, dass man die eigenen Prinzipien verkauft?
