Anti-Harassment Policy

Harassment in any form will not be tolerated. We hold that everyone has the right to have experiences free from harassment or the fear of harassment, regardless of factors including but not limited to race/ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, body size, physical appearance, neurotype, age, and/or disability.

Harassment can include, but is not limited to:

• Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.

• The manipulation of photographs or recordings in a manner that may offend, intimidate, embarrass, or demean.

• Verbal, written, or social media comments that may offend, intimidate, embarrass, or demean, including those that reinforce social structures of prejudice or domination.

• Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’, former, or rejected names.

• Threats of violence.

• Physical or verbal intimidation and any other behaviors that could reasonably be viewed as abusive.

• Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.

• Patterns of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others.

• Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they’re not appropriate.

• Unwelcome attention, either in person or through an online medium.

• Unwelcome physical contact, sexual attention or simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop.

• Any other behavior that is disruptive to events or attendees’ enjoyment of events.
