Safe Spaces for All Federationists. There has been a lot of behind-the-scenes discussion by Federationists of all political and ideological stripes about not feeling comfortable voicing an opinion or broaching a topic that goes against what seems to be the current grain. Do you feel comfortable voicing opposition to resolutions, discussion topics, etc.? Do you perceive that others are not comfortable doing so? Why do you think this is, and what can be done about it? Is this a chapter issue, affiliate issue, or national issue? Join them and provide your input on the topic.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'><a name="_Hlk81826064">Here’s how to join:<o:p></o:p></a></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;line-height:105%'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'>Zoom Link </span><a href="https://zoom.us/j/8297256345?pwd=SFAyamlQNU44ZTJ6dUZNMTV4RmhCQT09"><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'><span style='color:#0563C1'>https://zoom.us/j/8297256345?pwd=SFAyamlQNU44ZTJ6dUZNMTV4RmhCQT09</span></span><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'></span></a><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'>One tap mobile<br><a name="_Hlk50492302"></a></span><a href="tel:%20+13017158592,,8297256345"><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk50492302'><span style='color:#0563C1'>tel: +13017158592,,8297256345# </span></span></span><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk50492302'></span></span></a><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk50492302'></span><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'><br>Telephone Dial: 1 (301) 715-8592<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'>Meeting ID: 829 725 6345# <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'>If needed the password is 20201940<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='mso-bookmark:_Hlk81826064'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'>Chapter and Division Meetings.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:8.0pt;line-height:105%'>Greater Williamsburg, Tuesday, March 8th, 6 pm.
