RSVP for Self-Care Sunday Series
Join us in learning about how to take care of our bodies, spirits, homes, communities, lands, waters, and air through safer cleaning, body, and food products. We encourage folks to attend the entire series, but you can attend any sessions that you’d like!
General Access Information
AI captioning will be provided. Food will be provided (dietary restrictions requested for in person attendees, gift cards offered for virtual attendees). Zoom will be recorded. Access requests, including interpretation and captioners, can be made during registration or by emailing Karissa Masciel at karissa@alphabetalliance.org. Requests for interpreters and captioners that are made less than 48 hours before the event typically are more difficult to meet. We will try and notify you if we cannot secure requested access.
Tending to the Water: Hazardous Waste in the Duwamish will be virtual only, but the rest will be hybrid.

COVID Protocols
Please take an at-home covid test prior to arrival, and be sure to swab both nose and throat. Check out this guide on how to get a more accurate sample. You should be able to order free tests from the government by end of September, or if you are unable to get one we have some available - let us know in the form below. Email us results to karissa@alphabetalliance.org or bring a photo to the event.
Please wear a well-fitting KN95/N95 mask while indoors at all times. There will be space outside to eat.
Air Purifying/Ventilation. We will have 2 air purifiers available in the main space, and will try to have doors open if weather allows.
Complete Symptoms and Exposure Checklist At Arrival. If you are feeling unwell or have experienced an exposure to someone who has tested positive, please stay home. And join us virtually if you are feeling able!
Post-Testing and Contact Tracing. We recommend that people take a rapid test 3-5 days after the event and let us know about any positive results, so we can anonymously inform other attendees. If you develop symptoms within 3-5 days after the event, please let us know as well.
Optionally, consider using a nasal spray and CPC mouthwash before and after the event to reduce potential viral load. For more information about COVID prevention and treatment, check out this guide.
