WE ARE CURIOUS, OPEN, AND RESPECTFUL

• We embrace this spirit when joining our shared space.

WE COMMIT TO RECIPROCAL CARE

• We assess and prioritize our boundaries and care at all times.
• Feel free to leave the call at any time, turn off your camera, engage/disengage with activities, take bathroom and stretch breaks, and creatively move your body appropriately as desired while limiting disruptions to the meeting activities.
• We add our pronouns to our Zoom name, if possible.
• We ask people how they want to be addressed instead of assuming their identity or pronouns based on their outward appearance.

WE STRIVE TO CREATE A SAFE SPACE

• We commit to building an inclusive, caring, and welcoming space for everyone.
• We prioritize the safety of queer, trans, black, indigenous, people of color (QTBIPOC), disabled, gender-nonconforming, low-income, survivors, and all other oppressed people over the comfort of those in privileged positions.

WE HOLD & TAKE SPACE MINDFULLY

• We take up space mindfully, as there is a limited amount of space to speak.
• We make and take space. If you’re someone who tends to not speak a lot, consider moving into a role of speaking more if it feels comfortable. If you tend to speak a lot, consider moving into a role of listening more.
