I don’t t think this should be a hot take but if you refuse to treat people with certain drugs because it’s against your religion, or for ideological reasons, you should not have the right to practice medicine.

1. Libraries being closed decreases not only the amount of time public can access materials, but the amount of time staff has to process them and do other work. This won’t just create inaccessibility, it will also slow down everything.

2. Libraries plan their programming and schedule weeks if not months in advance. In just about two weeks, all of these NY libraries will have to shift around and reschedule if not cancel weekend programs. This is a waste of time and money.

3. Librarians, particularly public librarians, will bear the brunt of this. They will get complaints, they will get yelled at, and they will also (possibly) lose out on weekend pay. This screws over some of our best public servants.

4. We will also lose librarian jobs over this. Likely, the city will let positions sit empty when vacant, since they have the excuse of less open hours. This will put more pressure on remaining staff, who are already likely underpaid.

Here’s the thing: missionary work is not about sharing the word of Jesus. It is not about building community, or helping people, or anything else. Fundamentally, it is an act of white supremacy and bigotry against other religious groups. Missionary work is just colonialism.
