When Activism and Community Development Unite *Virtual Attendance*

Join CDLI in a conversation circle and active practicing of bringing community development and activism together. This conversation circle and following practicing will be a hybrid opportunity. In registering through this event listing you are saying you will show up virtually through Zoom. Please read below for more information on showing up virtually.

In the conversation circle you will hear from others how they are bringing community development and activism together, and you can offer your examples, or ideas you have. There is always the right to pass in a conversation circle if you feel you don't want to contribute.

To practice we will join with others to try:

• care network mapping (many use different terms like pods, groups, etc. for similar work)
• let's talk anti-opressive parenting
• sharing resources that support our ability to bring activism and community development together

Activism and Community Development can mean many things. Please feel free to visit CDLI's About Us page to learn more about how we describe community development.

For the purposes of this gathering, and knowing CDLI's focus is community development not activism, we are inviting in folks with lived experience in activism related to gender equity, climate, disability and racial justice.

CDLI will be emailing a Zoom link and password on the morning of October 9th to each person who registers to attend virtually. Please check the email provided in your "ticket" and the spam or junk folders if you can't locate it. If you haven't received the information please feel free to reach out via phone to 403-906-0941 or email to Y2RsaSB8IGNhcnlhY2FsZ2FyeSAhIGNh

CDLI will endeavor to include all who register in meaningful conversation and action. We acknolwedge that joining virtually when others are in person can provide a different experience and technology is reliable, until it isn't. CDLI commits to putting in the time and work to make this the best possible experience for all joining.

Please email Y2RsaSB8IGNhcnlhY2FsZ2FyeSAhIGNh if there are any ways we can support your ability to attend and be present during the gathering.
