Attending Live Sessions: Zoom registration & Ground Rules

Completing and submitting this form registers you for the series, however in order to attend live meetings you will need to apply for a personal login to the Zoom video meeting we'll use for the course. We apologize for the extra step, but doing this ensures that we have access to online break out rooms (for intimate, small group discussion) and a secure container for our online meetings (by ensuring that only registered participants can join the meeting).

You will receive instructions for how to apply for your personal login to the Zoom meeting for this caucus in your confirmation email for the series.

Before applying for a personal login, we ask that you read and agree to our ground rules for live session participation. These ground rules are designed to nurture a supportive, constructive environment for everyone who attends.

As explained in the ground rules, these meetings will be held as a white caucus. To learn more about the usefulness of caucusing in racial justice activism and education, see this post by Justin C. Cohen. If you have additional questions not answered in our "Participant Agreements & Ground Rules" document, please reach out: info@whiteawake.org
