Listserv Posting Guidelines
The SoCoCAN! listserv is our central communication body. The purpose is to provide networking opportunities between climate activist groups and individuals. It is a place to share announcements, information, and to elicit support for climate activism.
Please address all posts to the entire listserv and not to individuals. Posts aimed for individuals can be sent to them privately. Discussions are encouraged if they include everyone. Ongoing discussions between individuals are requested to be taken off list. Please use clear and consistent subject line titles so that people can choose which posts they wish to read.
The listserv is "family friendly". Only submit posts that are suitable for people of all ages.
Please remember that we all share the same deep concern for life on our planet Earth although we may not always agree on all points. Challenging the status quo and our own biases is an important part of personal and professional growth. By examining preconceived belief systems we strengthen their validity, or discover new ways to make a positive impact for the betterment of this planet and all those who inhabit it. If a challenge or correction is unavoidable, let us remember to respectfully challenge the statement and not the speaker. Try to maintain a sense of humor. Remember that mean-ness ripples, but so does kindness. Seeking commonality builds unity for effective activism.
Flaming and derogatory posts, publicly and privately, will result in moderation and possible removal from the list. Complaints can be sent to [email protected].
With an understanding that we are all busy people keep in mind that long emails will be read by fewer people. To reduce volume of emails consider switching to the digest version for one daily email with all the posts from that day. Instructions for changing your preferences are posted at the bottom of every email.
This is a lively listserv that is intended to bring us together. As a network we have one thing in common - climate change activism in Sonoma County.
