Here are the other events we have happening this week (all will be taking place in Pacific Time, unless otherwise noted). 

• Friday, February 5th, 10AM: Animal Shelter Volunteer Day - *Space limited to 10 people, please confirm by reaching out Kitty Jones or replying to this email if you are attending* The Jelly's Place animal shelter saves lives every single day! And they need a team to help with cleaning, organizing, socializing dogs, socializing cats, and other tasks! Please wear a mask and respect physical distancing. We will meet at Jelly's Place: 2905 San Pablo Dam Road, San Pablo, CA 94803.

• Saturday, February 6th, 1PM: Dog Park Day - To many, this activist community and the friendships we've made in DxE are very important to us! So let's hangout! Please bring your dog if they are friendly with other dogs. Please note we are following COVID-19 precautions and ask that everyone wear a face mask and since this is an outdoor space it will be easier for us to maintain social distance. We are meeting at Point Isabel: 2701 Isabel St, Richmond, CA.

• Saturday, February 6th, 5PM: Online Consent Training - Growing up few of us ever receive proper sex education and even fewer learn about consent and healthy relationships. Respect and consent are crucial to our relationships as humans and even more important to our connections as activists. We strive to have a community in which people feel able to take action, that's why we have a Code of Conduct (dxe.io/conduct) that explains how we should treat one another. Kitty Jones will be leading this training, in which you will learn what consent is and how to maintain consent in all relationships. As well as what constitutes unacceptable behavior in DxE, how to report this, and the consequences of such behavior. Please see the event page for Zoom link instructions. 

• Sunday, February 7th, 11:30AM: January Chapter Meeting: DxE SF Bay Area - Help us shape the direction of the local DxE community. This is the most important meeting we hold each month and it is a place for discussion, strategic planning, and decision making. All current and prospective chapter members in the DxE SF Bay Area chapter are encouraged to attend. Please see the details in the event page for Zoom instructions.

• Monday, February 8th, 6:30PM: Open Rescue Training Part 1: The Basics, Videography and On Camera Person - Join us via zoom for an introductory training into our open rescue procedure.
