Are you going to take the vaccine?

I am posting the below message on behalf of the CSC:

To Bring4th Members,

We are writing to advise that comments that were made in this thread by a Bring4th member which referenced the nationality, race and gender of other members have been removed.

We acknowledge that there exists reputable academic research exploring how power differentials of various groups of people in society today give certain groups inherent privileges over other groups. We understand how these circumstances have caused real suffering and pain for people, and that legitimate ways for underprivileged groups to lessen these power imbalances is to identify when they feel that their voice has been under-represented in important areas of societal activities.

There are appropriate ways to discuss these topics on Bring4th, such as with compassion for the potential hurt for all parties involved and with a view towards healing and understanding. However, to use these theoretical frameworks to say disparaging comments towards specific Bring4th members, whose life paths we know little about, is unacceptable here. If we are to establish an intentional, light-filled, spiritual community, we must acknowledge that most people on Earth are carrying trauma and these kinds of conversations require extra sensitivity.

We apologise for the delay in removing the comments as the CSC came together to discuss this issue. We welcome any Bring4th members who have strong feelings about this situation to share their experiences with the CSC by sending a PM to this account: Bring4th_Stewardship

With love and respect,
The CSC
