We respect each other. We ask questions about and validate others’ experiences.
We will likely disagree at times. When we do, we will ask questions and avoid debates.
We respect and are attentive to the person speaking.
We use I-statements to speak for ourselves, not for our general identity groups.
We will make mistakes; we are learning and growing. When others make mistakes, we assume good intent. When we make mistakes, we acknowledge them.
We have the right to practice self-care. We have the right to remove ourselves from activities or dialogue.
We will grow comfortable being uncomfortable together.
We do not have answers to every question, nor do our facilitators or presenters. We will do our best to listen to and answer all questions appropriately.
