“If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
― Lilla Watson
- This is an anti-genocide pro-liberation space, move accordingly.
- This space is not safe. Spaces can’t be safe but people can be. Move at the speed of trust. Create safety for yourself and each other. Operate bravely and thoughtfully.
- Direct press or social media inquiries to the media tents.
- Although we try to always have a mod available and watching, it’s not always possible. If you see behavior that concerns you, please document it and alert a mod as soon as you can. We will follow up on anything we believe to be problematic. Ignoring a mod who follows up with you on problematic behavior or blocking a mod will result in expulsion.
- Be respectful to everyone. Don’t be a jerk. This includes, but is not limited to making other members uncomfortable, being inconsiderate, disrespectful, or ignoring corrections from mods.
- When we are called out on our behavior, we will take the time to reflect and take accountability for the harm we caused. If others have caused us harm, we will communicate that to them or to a community moderator without the intention of causing purposeful harm or retribution.
- Different people are heard/express themselves in different ways, facilitate this. We will do our best not to make or express judgmental assumptions about anyone in regards to their appearance or body, appearance of their home, children/family/parenting, gender or gender presentation, sex, sexual orientation, race, diagnosis, religion, dietary needs/restrictions, self-stimulatory behavior and vocalizations, or echolalia/repeated statements. We will approach things that we do not understand with an open mind.
- Any blatant toxic behavior, including making racist, sexist, ageist, transphobic, or otherwise bigoted remarks, for example, will result in an automatic ban.
- No spamming, constant pinging, or harassment of other members.
- Fundraising requests for Palestinians are only welcome in the fundraising area.
- Recruit to add people to this space but be careful with who you share our address with. DO NOT share it on a public visible social media channel.
