Please be prepared to provide updated proof of vaccination when visiting the studio. Here's a useful link to have on hand when you've forgotten your paper vaccination card:
https://myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov/
Remember that bivalent boosters are available to those who are eligible, and we encourage you to stay current on your vaccinations to help keep our community healthy.
We are continuing to wear masks fully covering the nose and mouth while in the Movement For Everyone studio. Our window does not open, our space is very intimate, and we're prioritizing hands-on work during in-person sessions. Online sessions are available for those who are unable to mask for 50-minutes. Thank you for your cooperation.
Looking forward to seeing you online and in-person this week! Until then, GET YOUR BOOSTER, breathe deeply, stay socially distant, healthy and sane.
Warmly,
Harriet
With the intention of embracing our humanity while working toward incremental cultural change, our class donation recipient organization for 2023 is the Lawyer's Committee For Civil Rights SF. From their website:
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area is the leading civil rights organization on the West Coast that works on groundbreaking impact litigation and provides direct services to low-income communities of color.
As one of the oldest civil rights institutions on the West Coast, our goal is to dismantle systems of oppression and racism, and to build an equitable and just society. By providing direct services to our communities, taking on important litigation, and advocating for legislative change, we address issues of inequality and injustice that the moment and the movement demands.
Recent successful legislative campaigns in the San Francisco Bay Area include decriminalizing jaywalking (AB 2147) and the Public Banking Option Act (AB 1177).
We will donate 100% of class fees from the second full week of every month to this fantastic organization that helps our community on so many levels. Please join us in making your own donation when you're able.
