All attendees at events created by, or in collaboration with WNC AAPI are asked to act in accordance of our Community Values & Participation Agreements.
Our Community Values
-
We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
-
Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
-
Being part of this community requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make communities great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the community should stay in the community.
-
While we all identify as AAPI, there are as many perspectives as there are people in this group. We are here to not only witness each other, but to learn, which can be uncomfortable.
-
WNC AAPI is a community run group. The more members who join to support the group, the more diverse, lively, and resilient this group will be.
Participation Agreements
