Towards the end of the hour we request that you fill out a tracking form so that we can celebrate all the work we accomplished together. We will begin this hour in small breakout rooms (Virtual Tables) to build connection and community. Over the hour we will learn about an issue and then we will have 15 minutes to take virtual action around that issue. We will close out the hour in community and celebration. There are additional resources and actions at the bottom of this agenda. ● If you have any questions (tech or otherwise), you can message your Zoom pilot or anyone with an * in front of their name and they will be able to help you ● If you have any accessibility needs or questions, feel free to speak up now or message anyone with an asterix in front of their name privately.
