The GW Allies are a safe and confidential resource for conference attendees. Our goal is to foster an inclusive and harassment-free environment. If you experience harassment or bullying, the GW Allies will provide you with a safe space to discuss your options and how you want to proceed. Please look out for members of the GW Allies during the meeting. You’ll find us wearing badges with a black background that say “GW Ally”. When they’re wearing their badge, Allies will be available to help during the meeting and officially organized social activities such as the conference dinner.
You can find more information on our website: https://gravity-allies.github.io and if you need to get in touch confidentially, please email
Joey Shapiro Key, joeykey@uw.edu
or
David Shoemaker, dhs@ligo.mit.edu
We’ll try to check emails frequently during the meeting. Messages will never be shared without your consent.
