Community Guidelines
We are dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all, grounded in principles that oppose discrimination and oppression. Our commitment to fostering a just society is reflected in the following guidelines, applicable to our library and events:
Sobriety: We uphold a sober environment, free from the influence of alcohol and drugs, ensuring a safe and inclusive space for all members of our community to engage and connect.
Respect: Every interaction within our community is founded on respect, kindness, and dignity.
Inclusivity and Anti-Discrimination: We are firmly against imperialism, racism, homophobia, patriarchy, and fascism. We affirm that Black Lives Matter, Trans Women are Women, Reproductive Rights are Human Rights, and champion the principles of Disability Justice. We acknowledge the interwoven nature of white supremacy, colonial capitalism, gendered oppression, and ableism, and commit to combating these forces.
Care for Resources and Space: With respect and care for our materials and spaces, we contribute to a welcoming environment.
Accountability and Community Building: We embrace our responsibility for our actions and their impact on our community. Supporting one another, we work together to reinforce these commitments, aiming to cultivate a stronger, more inclusive community.
We Encourage and Promote
Amplification of Marginalized Voices: We prioritize promoting and amplifying the works and voices of marginalized groups, including but not limited to women of color, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people with disabilities, and those at the intersection of these identities.
Diverse Events, Workshops, and Classes: The events, workshops, and classes we host reflect our commitment to inclusivity. By focusing on topics and activities that elevate underrepresented voices and perspectives, we provide a platform for learning, understanding, and advocacy.
