Hello, and welcome to the Emerge Miami Google Group!

The purpose of this Google Group is to be a means of announcing upcoming Emerge events and initiatives. While we welcome all perspectives, messages sent to this group will be moderated. The organizers of Emerge Miami request that you consider the following guidelines before posting a message to the group:

1. We will not approve any messages that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise abusive.

2. We will not approve any messages replying to a thread that would be more appropriate as a personal response to the original poster.

3. While we welcome dissenting views, please be prepared to offer information with your opinion so that people may explore the issues and take their own stance. Whatever the position you take, we ask that you also post supporting documentation, be it a link, a book title recommendation, a reference to an article in a magazine, etc. 

4. We welcome messages from other progressive or community groups, but please don't spam the list. People get so much e-mail, so it's important to keep the Emerge mailings relevant and informative.

5. If you have any questions about this policy, or if you are unsure about the appropriateness of your message, please contact one of the moderators. This can be found on our Google group page here: http://groups.google.com/group/emerge-miami

Thank you,

Emerge Miami Organizers
