Covid Precautions

Covid precautions:

Based on our values of radical hospitality, we are committed to ensuring the safety of our most vulnerable members to the greatest extent possible.


·        If you are attending in person, we require N95/KN95 or KF94 masks, covering both mouth and nose, in all indoor spaces, for everyone age 2 and older. When outside, masks are highly encouraged. Masks will be available at the conference if you need one.


·        Air purifiers are used in every room. Ventilation is increased by opening windows when weather allows.


·        Lunch seating will be available outside weather permitting, and you will be encouraged to spread out throughout the building if inside.


·        If you have symptoms of illness, please stay home. We have an online conference option.

Please select one option.
Lunches will be available for those who register by APRIL 8. If you are registering after the deadline, please bring your own lunch as we cannot guarantee availibility. We will have snacks throughout the day.

Please note a change to our gluten free option: due to our supplier not being available this year, we cannot offer celiac-safe gluten free lunches. Instead, we are offering the Wegmans Meals2Go "no-gluten containing ingredients" subs, meat only. We apologize for not being able to offer celiac safe lunches this year, but hope to in the future. We will have plenty of celiac safe gluten free snacks available throughout the day.
Please select one option.
 
Payment

We are committed to making sure that finances are not a barrier to you coming to this event.  If you can pay full price that would be great, and if full price is a bit more than your budget can handle, pay what you can. 

Consider paying less on the scale if you:


• are supporting children or have other dependents

• have significant debt

• have medical expenses not covered by insurance

• receive public assistance

• have immigration-related expenses

• are an elder with limited financial support

• are an unpaid community organizer

• are a returning citizen who has been denied work due to incarceration history


Consider paying more on the scale if you:


• own the home you live in

• have investments, retirement accounts, or inherited money

• travel recreationally

• have access to family money and resources in times of need

• work part time by choice

• have a relatively high degree of earning power due to level of education (or gender and racial privilege, class background, etc.) Even if you are not currently exercising your earning power, we ask you to recognize this as a choice.


The sliding scale is intended to be a map, inviting each of us to take inventory of our financial resources and look deeper at our levels of privilege. It is a way to challenge the classist and capitalist society we live in and work towards economic justice on a local level. While we ask you to take these factors into consideration, please don’t stress about it. Pay what feels right.


Youth under 18 are free.  If you are under 18 and want to pay something that would be greatly appreciated (wording about our sliding scale based on Hadassah Damien's work at ridefreefearlessmoney.com)
Payment Options

Pay full price 50.00
Sliding Scale pay what you can - you will be asked to fill in the price you can pay (20.00 covers the cost of the lunch)
Under 18 free - or you can enter an amount that you can pay (20.00 covers the cost of the lunch)
Pay at the door - you can pay by cash or check this way or pay by credit card. If you choose this option please enter 0 so you are not charged at this time.
 
Please select all that apply.
