Now that you’ve put in all the work with your pod to create a plan, it’s time to communicate it. An accountability process does zero to help the person harmed or your community if they don’t know it’s happening and what it’s going to entail. So you need to communicate this out.
This is another area where the specifics of your situation and community can mean there are different ways that this might happen. If there aren’t any venues or events to account for, your accountability pod might reach out to the person harmed to see if they want to know about what your process will be, perhaps through an intermediary. Or maybe the plan is communicated directly to a group or venue as well. If you are an organizer, if the call out was very public, or if your community is a large one with a variety of groups and venues, you may need to post your plan publicly for anyone in your community to see. Communication needs to be tailored to your situation.
Whatever you choose, you can’t try to hide it. You will probably feel very uncomfortable being so public about your process, but the transparency is needed to instill trust.
