COVID-19 Updates & Community Response

We believe in the power of community.


Due to recent events and the continued concerns of COVID-19, we want to take steps to ensure the safety and health of our members. We encourage everyone to take necessary and CDC recommended steps to protect your health and well being this time. We hope this time provides some time for you to rest and take care of yourself.

BGC recommendations:
🌿Continue to endorse safe and healthy social distancing practices outdoors. Please do not continue to climb. Running, walking, and hiking in low populated areas are still okay according to most sources but develop an in home training plan in the mean time.
📣Speak up and stand up against coronavirus related racism and prejudice.
💜Act as an ally to those that may need assistance or supplies due to health concerns.
📌Share any resources that may be helpful for you or others at this time (employee support, airline information).

“…In the face of this world, this moment, where self definition outside of oppression can feel impossible, we must strengthen our capacity to live and create and affirm and vision outside the white male straight able-bodied citizen gaze, to structure our visions beyond their limited, often self-worshipping imaginations…We need our own oceanic visions.”

Our Community Response

In an effort to practice emergent strategy we want to address the vision of how to respond to a community in crisis as a collective with the goal of creating healing and generating joy.

Although we do not always know how to do this, we trust our ability to listen to one another to find a collective answer.

So with that said, we are reaching out to you to hear about your needs and offerings during this time. We will be opening up our instagram stories for community members to generate income or support through community engagement.

Descriptions/Definitions:

Need: Something that you are requesting to support you, another person, or an organization that serves a specific community directly or indirectly affected by COVID-19. (Ex. employment/work, financial support, items, emotional/social)

Offering: Something that you are providing as a gift or a service (if it is also a need) to offer entertainment, education, in kind support, or financial assistance to others.
