-----
We meet every two weeks to discuss topics related to the Effective Altruism movement. Sometimes topics are not posted until fairly late but we do hold the event every couple of weeks.
We meet at Beergarden.
We are loosely aligned to the global EA movement. You can read more about the global movement here https://www.effectivealtruism.org/ or read third party summary here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism
We strive to ensure a diverse set of voices are heard. We want to emphasize that women and non-binary people, people of color, and people of all ages, religions, belief systems, and political perspectives are welcome at our meetings to share in our common interest in effective altruism.
COMMUNITY SAFETY INFORMATION
It is a priority to make our group a place that feels safe and welcoming for everyone who is interested in contributing to or learning from the EA movement, and in particular, to be a place that is safe and welcoming for members of groups that are currently underrepresented in our community. We expect members to respect one another at all times, and will take action to prevent inappropriate behavior.
1. If you have any concerns about the conduct of anyone in the group, please feel free to reach out to me, the organizer, Ben Smith, by messaging me on meetup (on desktop, click here) to discuss it so that we can keep our group safe and welcoming.
2. If you have any concerns but for any reason prefer not to reach out to me about them, please feel free to reach out to the Center for Effective Altruism community health team. You might reach out to them instead if the concerns are about me, or you think I'm not equipped to handle them, or for any other reason you'd just prefer to talk to the Center for Effective Altruism.
