AZ Burners 2020 Town Hall.

The 2020 town hall was held virtually via Zoom due to the ongoing health crisis in Arizona. Primary topics included: plans for our new land, coronavirus and Saguaro Man, and our IGNiGHT online art exhibition, plus the following community action items:

🚫 An 11th principle? 🚫 
We need community input around a proposal to add consent as the official 11th principle for AZ Burners. There will be more information soon on how to participate in this discussion.

🚑 Healthcare professionals! 🚑 
The new COVID response team will monitor public health information and outline recommendations for conducting Saguaro Man safely. To pARTicipate, email ElderWrong@gmail.com.

😷 Flatten the curve. 😷 
This is NOT a time for safety third. Wear a mask and social distance to help slow the spread of coronavirus. Sacrifice NOW so we can burn together at Saguaro Man in October.
