Our Safer Space Policy exists to, as best as we can, eliminate any oppressive actions, behaviors, and language in our space.  These include, but are not limited to, racism, sexism, ageism, sizeism, classism, ableism, transphobia and heterosexism.  We strive to provide a community space that is safe and welcoming, and prioritize the needs of those typically marginalized by society.  Please feel free to approach a collective member in confidence should anyone here make you feel unsafe.

Whenever possible, we may ask people to change or address unsafe behavior or language.  As a last resort, we reserve the right to ask people to leave.  If you have  any questions or need clarification about our Safer Space Policy, please get in touch with us at general@redandblackcafe.com.
