Here at @NorthBayPython we're taking a cautious approach to adapting to our new venue. We've relocated to a venue with far better ventilation than the 1800s Vaudeville theater we used to run out of, but we don't yet have data on ventilation.

So we're requiring masks, and also using CO2 monitors throughout the venue to establish a baseline.

We'll use what we learn to calibrate next year's policy!

We've been a little quiet here, but our work is far from done!

Public Health Pledge author @josh will be presenting about event Health and Safety policies next month in Portland, Oregon.

We're building a community of practice, creating model policies, and notching a few wins.

As the puzzle pieces come together, we can make a renewed push advocating for change -- with the necessary tools ready for people to adopt.

What an honor! I'm thrilled to share that I'm a speaker at the first ever by @conservancy this July in Portland.

I'll be talking about event policies and what the pandemic can teach us about taking our diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives to the next level. (Feat. the @phpledge!)

I can't wait to see the full lineup for the conference :ablobcatrave:

This image has gone viral on "the bird site" and I wanted to make sure it's also seen here: 120 students at the University of San Diego listening to a socialist antiwar lecture, 117 of whom are masked in KN95s or above. The organisers (International Youth & Students for Social Equality) also ran HEPA filters & far UV, & opened windows.

Bea, Artie, and Abby discuss the end of mask mandates in healthcare settings, why masking in places like hospitals was a good idea even pre-pandemic, and the one US agency that could put the brakes on this development——but isn't.

Read Bea's essay on Eric Adams "mask off at the door" policy proposal here: disabilityvisibilityproject.co

The best time to make policies a standard part of in-person event organizing was years ago.

The second best time to do it is _now_ :ablobcatbongo:

And it's not hard or mysterious, even if you're a small scrappy event!

We, the @phpledge team, are creating resources to help you figure it out and are collaborating with event organizers to help them iron out the finer points. Do reach out!

Our team has been a bit preoccupied navigating industry headwinds but the work continues.

We are currently advising several events on policies and will be gearing up for a big push in Q3. We started this initiative knowing it would be a long haul. This is a year of establishing footholds and creating good examples for folks to follow.

Thank you for your solidarity.

Together we will make events safer and more inclusive!
