Sign 2: Anti-Oppression
INSERT NEWEST MISSION STATEMENT HERE
Free Ride is a community of volunteers unified around and committed to this mission statement.
Free Ride as a community does not tolerate oppressive language or behavior of any kind, in our shop or in our collective.
THIS SHOP IS A SAFE SPACE! What this means:
Don’t “hit on” anybody.
Don’t make derogatory jokes or comments regarding someone’s race, gender, class, age, orientation, religion or ability.
Don’t try to intimidate others or make others feel foolish.
Don’t discourage anyone by mocking their bicycle or their ability.
Don’t take tools out of anyone else’s hands.
??
Everyone who uses Free Ride’s space and resources MUST uphold these values. Anyone using Free Ride who is made to feel uncomfortable by someone else’s behavior has the right to address that behavior, either informally in the moment it happens or by requesting formal action from Free Ride staffers or the collective.
If someone feels that your behavior or language is inappropriate, volunteer staffers may ask you to leave or request that you take further action to resolve the conflict. If this happens to you, please take the opportunity to try to listen and understand how the conflict arose, and consider modifying your behavior for next time.
Enforcing this policy is how we keep Free Ride a safe, encouraging, and fun learning environment for EVERYONE. Thank you for being a part!
