Hello!
We have postponed a number of events in March to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19. We’re also moving some meetings to conference calls. If you’ve signed up for something, please keep an eye your inbox for more information about rescheduling and refunds (if applicable).
There are also a number of public meetings listed on this calendar. Please check with the hosting agency or organization for information about whether those events are still scheduled to happen.
We’re extremely grateful for everyone’s patience and understanding. Please take care of yourself and your community.
❤️,
