Reclaiming the Moment: Using Cultural Power and Policy to Advance Climate & Health Justice

COVID-19 Policy

Mask Policy: All convening participants have the option to wear a mask if they so choose. We ask that participants respect the requests of others to wear masks and/or maintain physical distancing.

Individuals who have any of the symptoms below or are unwell should not attend the convening. Individuals who develop one or more of the symptoms below during the convening should cease their participation in the event.

• • Fever or chills
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle or body aches
  • Headache
  • New loss of taste or smell
  • Sore throat
  • Congestion or runny nose
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhea

Health Screening and Reducing the Spread: All participants will be required to complete a rapid PCR test or COVID-19 Antigen test at registration and prior to participating in convenings activities. In addition, Kresge recommends that all participants screen themselves daily for symptoms. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Individuals who have any COVID-19 symptoms or are unwell should not attend the convening. Prior to arrival, all participants will be required to complete a rapid PCR test or COVID-19 Antigen test within 24 hours of their arrival at the event.

Antigen tests (rapid tests) for each attendee and staff will be provided for each day of the event. Attendees agree to test daily and share results at the beginning of each day to allow for additional communication with participants. Participants will be provided with different colored wristbands for each day of the conference after they share a negative test result at registration. There will be a discrete COVID testing area with a point person on site.

Participant Waiver: The convening planning team has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, we cannot guarantee that attendees will not become infected with COVID-19.

Participants agree to abide by the preventative requirements, understand these requirements are subject to change, voluntarily assume the risk that may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending the convening; and understand that Kresge will not be responsible for covering costs incurred, including but not limited to airfare changes and additional hotel isolation bookings, as a result of being exposed to or infected by COVID-19 in connection with their attendance at the convening.
