About Zoom:
If you have internet access, but have never Zoomed, this is a great time to get started! The website to download Zoom is https://zoom.us/
There is a box to click on for “Sign up for free.” Just click there and follow the instructions. I (Jean, one of the office volunteers) did this recently and found it pretty easy.
When you have signed up for Zoom ad registered for the Spring Assembly, you will get instructions from David Lambert about how to participate in the Assembly. David will send a link for you to use to join the conference (or if joining by phone, a phone number and code).
For more information and training resources, see the Zoom website, https://zoom.us/docs/en-us/covid19.html#resources
Once you get used to Zooming, you may find it convenient for all kinds of activism as well as non-contact communications with family and friends, whether on the next block or across the world!
