Planning to Join Live or Only Using Recordings?

White Awake is able to work with a large number of participants live, however, popular courses sometimes exceed our capacity for live session attendance. If you plan to join even just one session live, please check the "Joining Live" box below. If you plan to ONLY use recordings, please check the box that says "Only Using Recordings". If or when we reach capacity for live participation, we will remove the joining live option. The number of people who can participate in our courses via recordings is unlimited. Thanks for your help! 

Please Note: Whether you are joining live or using recordings, all registrants will have the opportunity to join the White Awake Mighty Networks group for this course, where you can engage in virtual discussion and share resources and experiences with one another. 

Zoom Login (for live session participation)

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.

Course Structure & Ground Rules

Before applying for a personal login, we ask that you read through the Course Structure document 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 Course Structure document, these meetings will be held as a caucus for people of European ancestry (white and multiracial). 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 Course Structure or Participant Agreements & Ground Rules documents, please reach out: info@whiteawake.org
