**We currently do not have a way to take payments electronically, but are working on it. If for whatever reason you can not pay with cash or check, please email
kimknight84@yahoo.com to make other arrangements.
The registration fee is on a sliding scale in order to keep the Talking Circles from being cost-prohibitive for anyone to attend or facilitate.* Please pay what you can to support MRC's work in the community, whatever that amount may be. In the interests of transparency and helping you make your decision, please consider the following:
- A $50 contribution will cover the cost of your attendance.
- Any contribution over $50 will go towards covering things such as the cost of those who pay less than $50, compensation for any facilitators who would otherwise be unable to otherwise, rent costs for MRC's space at 516 W. MLK Street, and supporting MRC's work in the community.
- If you cannot contribute $50, that is ok. Your costs will be covered by someone who was able to pay a bit more.
- TC SURJ takes care of the monetary transactions for the white caucus circles, but makes no money in the process. All proceeds after paying for the costs of running the circle go to MRC.
*Because we believe that white people should not be profiting off of the oppression of people of color, facilitators generally volunteer their time. However, just as we don't want attending the Talking Circles to be cost-prohibitive for anyone, we also do not want lack of compensation to deter lower or no income folks from facilitating. Facilitators are able to receive some compensation if they would otherwise be unable to afford spending the required number of hours going through facilitator training, preparing with their co-facilitator, and actually facilitating.
