Hello environment friends, I'm sending out reminders about some Affinity
Groups that I've been running, and I'd appreciate it if you can spread the
word to your respective units. The groups are:

   1. Environmental BIPOC Affinity Group
   2. Environmental Queer & Trans Affinity Group

These are open to members of any peer group (undergraduate, graduate,
postdoc, staff, faculty) in the College of the Environment.
These groups are places to build community, and we're not particularly
interested in keeping people out. :)

For those interested in joining any/all of these groups, keep reading and
follow the links to join the relevant listservs. If someone isn't available
when the group meets, or if someone's not sure if the group is for them, I
encourage them to reach out to me at mcfm at uw.edu! I'm happy to answer
questions and keep folks posted on any developments. *Please share this
information with anyone you think would be interested.*

Environmental BIPOC Affinity Group
The Environmental BIPOC group is a respectful and supportive space to build
community, share experiences, and support each other. Sometimes we get food
together. This group is intended as a social space for folks to chill, make
friends, and offer mutual support.

   - 1st and 3rd Mondays at 10am
      - Spring quarter: April 21, May 5, May 19, June 2
      - Will be meeting in-person, sometimes going to a local cafe

*This group centers the voices and experiences of Black folks, Indigenous
folks, and other folks who identify as people of color.* Join the
Environmental BIPOC listserv
<https://mailman11.u.washington.edu/mailman/listinfo/environ-bipoc> to
see group updates, get the meeting locations, and keep up to date with
events. You can also join us on Slack

Environmental Queer & Trans Affinity Group
The Environmental Queer & Trans group is a respectful and supportive space
to build community, share experiences, and support each other. The Queer &
Trans group works to increase visibility of LGBTQIA2+ individuals and
identities in environmental science fields through educational events. And
it's a cool place to build relationships and make friends!

   - 2nd and 4th Wednesdays at 2pm
      - Spring quarter: April 23, May 14, May 28, June 11
      - Will be meeting in-person, sometimes going to a local cafe

*This group centers the voices and experiences of LGBTQIA2+ and Questioning
folks. *Join the Environmental Queer and Trans Affinity listserv
