DESCRIPTION:Join Black and Pink as we have a night of spa fun, spoken word poetry and 
 music to raise funds for our advocacy work towards LGBTQIA individuals in 
 the prison industrial complex.\n\nEvery little bit helps, \nEvery donation 
 will go directly towards the post office box, postage, postcards and 
 materials for our postcard potluck parties 
 \n\nPerformer\n\n***********Alexis Lillian Lefranc************\n\n\nBlack & 
 Pink-San Diego Safe(r) Space Policy\n\nBlack & Pink-San Diego hosts spaces 
 that identifies as Safe(r) Space. We ask everyone that attends to be aware 
 of their language and behavior, and to think about whether it might be 
 harmful to others. \n\nOppressive behavior as any conduct that demeans, 
 marginalizes, rejects, threatens or harms anyone on the basis of ability, 
 activist experience, age, economic and cultural background, education, 
 ethnicity, gender identity, immigration status, language, housing status, 
 nationality, physical appearance, race, religion, self-expression, sexual 
 orientation, status as a parent or other such factors.\n\nThe goal in 
 hosting these events is to promote critical thought and dialog around an 
 issue. We believe in education before action, and want to challenge 
 ourselves to be open-minded. People come to our space from different 
 backgrounds. In acknowledging institutional oppression, we acknowledge that 
 we as individuals often repeat cycles of oppression, whether intentionally 
 or not. Not everyone is familiar with the language we use, and no one is 
 perfect. In order to engage in accountability and growth, we have to be 
 coming from a place where we assume that people are trying their hardest. 
 \n\nWith this in mind we also believe in accountability. We approach 
 accountability as something that consciously occurs when individuals can 
 learn from others and are mindful of what is said and how it is said and 
 how it impacts others. If you are unwilling to work in a framework of 
 accountability then we may not be the right space for you. Seriously, words 
 and actions matter. Working within this framework here are some quick and 
 easy general guidelines:\n\nGeneral Guidelines\n\nRespect peoples’ 
 opinions, beliefs, experiences and differing points of view.\nRespect 
 everyone’s identity and background, including pronouns and names. Do not 
 assume anyone’s gender identity, sexual preference, race, ethnicity, 
 ability, survivor status, economic status, background, health, etc. 
 \nRespect everyone’s physical and emotional boundaries. Check in in 
 before discussing topics that may be triggering (e.g. sexual abuse, 
 physical violence or encounters with police, substance use, etc.), and use 
 trigger warnings. Please ask for consent prior to engaging any form of 
 physical contact. By first asking for permission, we are opening up space 
 for others to tell us what they are comfortable with and ensure that we do 
 not cross a line with regard to their boundaries, safety and comfort. 
 \n\nBlack & Pink-San Diego will not be providing alcohol or other 
 substances at our events. We respect the desire for people to consume 
 alcoholic beverages in social settings and the need for some to use medical 
 cannabis and we do not want to infringe upon that. We do ask that you be 
 mindful when offering others alcohol or cannabis. Some people may be 
 triggered by being offered these substances (whether it be dependency 
 related or otherwise), so please be mindful of the comfort level of the 
 environment when using these substances. Designated area may be provided at 
 our events.\n\nIf you’re confused about how to honor any of the 
 guidelines…ask!\n\nYou may be asked to leave if:\n-You do not adhere to 
 our Safe(r) Space Policy\n-You are being discriminatory in any way\n-You 
 are interfering with the work of any of our dedicated organizers\n\nTHANK 
 YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THE CREATION OF SAFE(R) SPACES AND A BETTER WORLD! 
 WITH LOVE AND SOLIDARITY!\n
