How do we work together? – Community Agreements

How do we work together? – Community Agreements

• We commit to continuous learning. We recognize that knowledge is not a finite resource and there will always be more to know.
• We agree to honor the many social identities, positions, and experiences we bring to the team and treat each other with respect.
• We acknowledge that there are many ways of knowing and that our lived experiences matter.
• We pay ongoing attention to the power differentials that exist in this space.
• Meetings are a place for constructive and supportive dialogue across differences.
• We commit to humility which means challenging our own biases, recognizing our privileges, and taking accountability when we have caused harm, including when unintentional.
• At any point a team member can invoke these agreements and we commit to listening and addressing either immediately, separately, or afterwards. We discuss issues seriously, openly, and directly.
• These agreements are necessary so that we can promote justice, equity, and anti-oppression in the work we do.
