Unto the people and populace of An Tir,
On the heels of the global pandemic which leaves many isolated and
concerned, We find ourselves facing another world-altering challenge. We
hear the concerns, worries, and outrage of Our people and we stand with the
tenets of Chivalry, Honor, Inclusivity, and Justice that have shaped An Tir.
We will always oppose injustice and work to make Our Kingdom a better place.
Social Media has become a megaphone for divisiveness on all sides. As stated
by the SCA Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, it is a time for us
all to “continue to work to make [the] SCA a haven for all.”
With this, we have heard from many about posts and discussions on social
media and We hear your calls for action. We encourage each of you to
continue to report things that stand against your values and those of Our
Kingdom and Organization.
At this time, we are working with local officers and Our Kingdom Seneschal
to ensure that these concerns are escalated appropriately to the Society
Seneschal and the Board of Directors.
We encourage you all to review An Tir’s Bullying and Harassment policy
<https://antirsca.sharepoint.com/:b:/s/library/Ea88BpGjRPBJukY3-lxhgzwBt0cTv
VjH8e2A5DR6Kdh0cA?e=ovAqui>  and grievance procedures
<https://www.sca.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/govdocs.pdf> . If you have
questions or concerns, please reach out to your local Seneschal, your
Principality Seneschal, or the Kingdom Seneschal.
As always, We are here for the good people of An Tir, as well.
These are very troublesome times, emotions are riding on high, and We, like
many of you, are feeling the strain echoing around the globe.
We encourage everyone to be understanding and to be kind. Through kindness,
we will all persevere, and when we are able to come together again, we will
do so knowing that we are One An Tir, a chosen family, working to be the
best, most welcoming, and most inclusive place.
Long Live An Tir
