Love Our Neighbors:

• Give each other patience and understanding when initiating new things. 

• When giving feedback, be constructive and productive about it. If you are receiving feedback, engage in a respectful manner.

• Elevate others - show appreciation, share resources, give credit where it’s due.

• Listen to others without interrupting. 

• Be mindful about loud noise in and outside of this space - we want to respect our neighbors and our peers.

• Be a good neighbor to the alleyway; be mindful of your surroundings.

• Discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated and will result in your removal within the space.

Love Ourselves:

• Be open and curious about suggestions or other perspectives.

• Own up to your mistakes and move on from them.

• Practice ‘I’ statements when speaking ex:”I think, I feel, I believe…”

• Use gender-neutral language ex: folks, y’all, everyone 

• Be accountable for the impacts of your actions and words.

• Speak up about your needs and ask for support if needed.

• Use non-violent communication to solve conflicts; no blaming and shaming others. 

Most importantly, be present and have fun :-)
