Invitation to C4DISC Rapid Response Sprint, 13 February 2025

The Steering Committee would like to invite you to participate in a Rapid Response Sprint on Thursday, February 13. See below for details.

Purpose: To assemble resources and provide support to C4DISC member and partner organizations and community members as they respond to the current political landscape around DEIA work.

Format: This will be a day-long, drop-in sprint (Thursday, 2/13, 9am-4pm ET). There will be an agenda of activities and designated facilitators for each one. Participants can come for as much or as little of the day as they want. Community members interested in contributing who can’t make it to the sprint can still sign up to be included in a pool of volunteers to tackle action items coming out of the sprint.

How it will work: If you’re interested in participating, please fill out the Google Form. We will send you the call-in link and the agenda as it comes together. You can drop in at any point during the day based on your availability and interest.

Agenda: The agenda is still in development, but it will definitely include the following work:

• Drafting a communication highlighting existing C4DISC resources that may be of use to community members at this time.

• Beginning work on a resource for professional member communities (like the members of C4DISC), drawing from our existing Toolkits for Equity.

• Best practices for responding to current events at the federal, state, and local levels.
