Statement From Worldcon Chair

The text Dispatches From Yesterday's Tomorrow against a retrofuturistic design of a rounded triangle shape with a blue swirl pattern.

I am writing this statement in order to share the status of Seattle Worldcon’s current journey through living up to our theme of Building Yesterday’s Future—For Everyone. We have received a number of concerns asking how the convention will respond to orders and actions of the U.S. government, which we condemn, that create hostile conditions and travel barriers for LGBTQ+ members and international members.
