- Respect Differences
Respect each other, our ideas, and our opinions in action and in speech. Differences in opinion are natural and expected; however, personal attacks, hostility, threats, and insults are not acceptable.
- No Hate
No tolerance for hate speech or discrimination - Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and other forms of discrimination are not tolerated.
- Listen to Understand
Listen with an open mind and ask questions before assuming. The best way to understand the choices, actions, or intentions of one another is by asking.
- Lived Experience
No one knows everything; together we know a lot. Each person is coming to the conversation with different levels of lived experience and embodied expertise, and everyone has something to contribute to the conversation.
