DECAY is a safer space, which means that we intend to create a welcoming environment where marginalized folks can let their freak flags fly. We urge participants & attendees to consider how their words and actions affect others, and strive towards mutual respect.
Advocates for Youth describes a safe space as:
“A place where anyone can relax & be fully self-expressed, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, age, or physical or mental ability; a place where the rules guard each person’s self-respect & dignity & strongly encourage everyone to respect others.”
Follow these guidelines to help make DECAY a safer space
We will not tolerate the following behaviors
We reserve the right to refuse admittance to or eject anyone who violates our safer spaces policy at our discretion.
We host events that we feel align with our mission. Content is not pre-screened in full or censored prior to events, nor can we promise to preemptively mute all oppressive or problematic behaviors by participants or attendees. If you see something, say something!
If you encounter something oppressive/problematic, if you witness/experience prohibited language/behaviors, or are made to feel unsafe, please reach out to the staff & we will collaborate on a solution with you.
DECAY reserves the right to ask anyone in violation of the safer space policy to leave the space (either temporarily or permanently) and we strive to take into account the wishes of the harmed party. We are not professional mediators, we are just people who are trying our best to make sure everyone has a good time.
Thank you for your support & assistance in making DECAY a safer space.
