Rules: Virtual and in Real Life
-
Be Respectful and Courteous: We're all on this journey of antiracism together. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but be mindful of your tone. We are striving to be Peacemakers, and we are all in different places on this journey carrying different baggage. If you think it would be helpful to express yourself in a video message to make it more personable, go for it!
-
No Hate Speech, Bullying, or Name-calling. This is a SAFE and Brave Space. We are called to build bridges, not burn them. Make sure everyone feels safe. 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. No name-calling.
-
No Promotions or Spam. Give more than you take to this group. Self-promotion, spam and irrelevant links aren't allowed. BUT if you have a Black-Own-Business to highlight, please consider e-mailing moderator katiemackinson@hotmail.com.
-
Respect Everyone's Privacy: Being part of this group requires mutual trust. Authentic, expressive discussions make groups great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared in the group should stay in the group. AND please do not “call out” or name individuals outside of our group when telling your stories unless you have their permission. Likewise, you may not share screenshots of peoples' posts or comments from our site to other sites. You MAY share resources and links.
-
ALL Are Welcome - We are for Moms “and more”, and we welcome people beyond Lake Highlands, but we also seek to lift up the voices of BIPOC and women as much as possible. Engage as much or as little as you like, but please “Leave Our Space Better than You Found It.” And I bet YOU will be better when you leave, too!
