Virtual Chat: Need Share

Ever wonder whether or not it's a good time to make an ask?

This is definitely a good time. Come to this virtual meetup with a need you're ready to share with the group.

Maybe it's a coworking session. Maybe it's a ride. Maybe it's a meal. Maybe it's parenting support. Maybe it's something that's always felt too complicated or like too much.

The goal of this meetup is to practice asking, practice listening, and to learn more about the people in your community.

Format:

• You get 2 mins to describe your need.
• Folks have 2 mins to ask clarifying questions.

There is no guarantee that someone will be able to meet your need.

We'll start the convo at 8:30pm and wrap by 9:30 pm.

Review our community norms to have a sense of what to expect:

I agree to take care of this space with my words and actions and hold myself accountable by living up to these norms:

• Opt in. I choose to be a part of this volunteer-led, community-organized meetup group. I understand that there are no fees or dues and that there is no single person who has authority over others. I show up conscious of the value I bring.
• Affirm that a healthy community includes respectful disagreement, and work to encourage that practice by cultivating my own curiosity and capacity for deep listening.
• Bring my most healed self to this community, resisting the urge to revert to coping mechanisms that harm myself or others. When I mess up, I resist the urge to shame or blame myself or others.
• Advocate for what I need as a fellow collaborator who is willing to be a part of the solution, whether that’s through thoughtful and constructive feedback, logistical support, or something else.
• Push against harmful beliefs and systems, including but not limited to racism, white supremacy, ableism, fatphobia, colorism, classism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, and misogynoir.
