THIS WEEK IN MORE
Hope everyone had a restful summer and a good start to the school year. Every Monday morning, you’ll find a This Week in MORE email in your inbox, with meetings, events, and opportunities to plug in to the caucus. MORE working groups haven’t started meeting yet, but we have a few announcements and save the dates below for this week.
Another important thing before we get to upcoming events: MORE has a Code of Conduct and process for dealing with code of conduct violations, which you can review here. Every week, included in this email will be a link to a form you can fill out if you would like support from MORE’s Community Care and Accountability Teams, or if you feel like someone has committed a code of conduct violation that needs to be addressed. The link is here and support is available if you need it.
Events this week!
