The Jane Community Agreements
Our Janes Agree to the Following:
We believe that language matters.
We commit to using language that is respectful, accessible and inclusive.
We know our space isn’t perfect and we will make mistakes.
We commit to learning and calling each other into growth instead of calling each other out in shame. We move at the speed of trust.
We are curious and respectful
We consider how our words/actions might impact others and focus on impact over intent.
We take care of ourselves first.
We eat, drink, yawn, stretch when we need to.
We honor confidentiality.
We respect the privacy and confidentiality of our space.
We take space/make space.
We encourage Janes that are often quiet to challenge themselves to take up more space, and Janes who are usually talkative to leave room for other voices.
We speak from our own experience
We use “I” statements and avoid generalizations.
We commit to Anti-Racism
Whether we identify as white or BIPOC/Global Majority, we commit to dismantle racism in all its forms: anti-Black, anti-Asian, anti-Latinx, anti-Indigenous, anti-MENA. We ask all Janes to read/view our DEI Resources page before entering our space.
