Community
Statement
Chroma is a student-led community organization. Our mission is to equip marginalized communities toward self-love and advocacy within anti-racist and queer-affirming frameworks. In order to align our community with these values and create a safe space for community growth, we ask each member to commit themselves to the following:
Respecting Privacy
-
Respect the anonymity of both members and leadership. In order to create a truly safe space, each member must be comfortable expressing themselves, free from fear of having their privacy violated. An attendee’s intentional infraction of the group’s anonymity in a manner delineated below will lead to us asking you to leave the group.
-
Do not repeat or share information surrounding members’ sexuality, gender, religion, political or personal beliefs—unless given explicit consent.
-
Do not share the location or other unpublicized details pertaining to meetings, protests and any other group activities.
Refraining From Hate Speech
-
We will not tolerate any form of hate speech, slurs, or derogatory language.
-
Stereotyping and micro-aggressions will be treated seriously, but handled with grace.
Respecting Personhood & Loving Others
-
Respect members’ preferred pronouns.
-
Be sensitive toward triggering topics. (Chroma is committed to providing trigger warnings on any content we put out, as necessary.)
-
Engage in cultural exchange, committing to education around and celebration of cultures or lifestyles different from your own.
Self-Love
-
Commit to the pursuit of self-love as a radical act of protest, a basic human right, and a mental, emotional, and physical need. Building a supportive and functional community begins with acknowledgment and care for the self.
-
Pursue self-love in decision-making around involvement in Chroma.
