Tell us a little about yourself!

We'd like to get to know you a bit! What brings you here to Center DC Online? What are you looking for out of virtual community?

Here's what you're agreeing to:

Here's what you're agreeing to: By clicking 'submit,' you're signing up for Center DC online community - to help maintain our community vibe virtually, we hold everyone who participates accountable to the following online user agreements: General Online Etiquette (or Adab) 1. Abide by the Center DC Community Agreements, which can be viewed in its entirety at www.joincenterdc.org/faq. 2. Be respectful of others. Please do not insult people or ideas you may not agree with, sell or market commercial or other services, or make public accusations. 3. Be authentic and represent yourself honestly with all members of the community. We value authenticity and openness at Center DC, so we ask that you do your best to embody that transparency and openness with other community members. 4. Treat everyone with compassion. When we disagree, we agree to critique ideas, not the person offering them. 5. Finally, we ask that you do your best to speak with “I-statements” and from your own understanding, rather than sharing what “Islam says…”. When quoting Islamic content, try to include the source when able so others can access the information on their own. Slack Adab Slack is intended to be a tool to foster connection and collaboration, providing community members with a platform to allow for discussion, feedback, and interactions. To help maintain the etiquette and values Center DC upholds, all community members are held accountable to the Center DC User Adab guidelines detailed above, as well as the following Slack Adab guidelines below: 1. Do not post or repost a message excessively, especially unsolicited advertisements, even if they are directly or indirectly related to the purpose of the topic. Resource advertisements should be directed to the appropriate channel (i.e. #random_resources). The #announcement channel is only for Center DC related or approved messaging. 2. Do not add or post any copyrighted material to Slack without written permission of the copyright owner. 3. Although you are allowed to share personal anecdotes, be mindful of your own privacy and boundaries. Carefully consider the audience before posting material that contains your Personal Identifiable Information (like your social security number, birth date, address, etc.). DO NOT post the Personal Identifiable Information of others. 4. Follow the channel structure and post in the appropriate place (when in doubt, ask!). You can reference the channel structure in the appendix below. Zoom Adab 1. For security reasons, please DO NOT share the Zoom links with others. If you know someone else who wants to join us, direct folks to the sign up form (bit.ly/joincenterdconline) - this is how we’re keeping track of who joins us online & how we're holding community members accountable to our agreements. 2. Be Present! Our programs — both online and in person — are designed for engagement. Our hope is that you avoid logging on and tuning out: Our Zoom events are not meant for passive observers. When possible, we want to hear you, see you, and/or get your real-time feedback in the Zoom chat so we know you are a real human being and not a Zoom Bomber. Inactive or non-responsive users may be removed by the host to maintain the safety of the space for all participants. 3. Full engagement is done most easily if you join via computer, rather than via phone or tablet. We often use an interactive powerpoint that can only be interacted with by those with computer access. 4. It’s okay to pass. Although your participation is what makes our space special, you aren’t required to respond to each and every invitation to share. Take care of yourself and feel free to say “pass” at any point, even when the invitation to share comes your way. Our goal is to make Center DC a community that does not shy away from difficult conversations, is as transparent as the situation allows, and holds community members and leadership accountable when harm occurs. If an interaction with another member makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe at any point in time, please reach out to us at saferspace@centerdc.org.
