• Zoom for Beginners - free tutorial

  • Wednesday, April 08, 2020 at 10:00 AM
  • Zoom Video Conferencing
  Backbone is offering tutorials on using the Zoom tool. We want to help you avoid isolation and stay connected with family, friends, and groups - while physically distancing.

  Time of Training: 10am Pacific | 1pm Eastern

  
  Please RSVP BELOW to receive the Zoom link you'll need to participate. 

  NOTE:
  We understand there may be security issues with using Zoom. 

  At Backbone, we weigh those concerns with the urgent need to use an easy platform for connecting. 

  Folks are encouraged to investigate this if you're concerned, but at this point we are continuing to use the Zoom tool for our own organizing - and yes, we realize open source options are developing and we look forward to learning more about those. Like so many aspects of our lives in this pandemic, things are changing rapidly as new opportunities and threats emerge.

  (Obviously, if your concern is such that you don't want to use the Zoom tool, please do not sign up for this tutorial. )

  We're all in this together!

• Time Bank Conversation

  • Friday, April 10, 2020 at 11:00 AM
  • Zoom Video Conferencing

  Backbone Campaign is looking into starting a time bank for our local Vashon Island community, and we want to share our process with communities all over. Time Banking is a useful tool in this time of CoVid19 pandemic, as the value of money diminishes and community connections are what will get us through this crisis.

  Edgar Cahn is the Father of Time Banking. He and his wife, Christine Gray, former Executive Director of TimeBanks USA, will be our guests for a 1 hour conversation on time banking as a tool for local resilience and connection.

  They are the co-authors of this article on Time Banking that was published in the Stanford Social Innovation Review.  Their website is TimeBanks.org. 

  RSVP below for an inspired and timely conversation, Friday at 11am Pacific | 2pm Eastern. 

  A link to the Zoom meeting room will be sent to you after registering.
