PAC Ethics of Participation

We imagine this conference as a community committed not only to Practical Activism but also to our UCSC Principles of Community. We expect those who participate to treat one another with respect, kindness, and consideration. Harassment, bigotry, and disrespect will not be tolerated, nor will any threatening speech or content. While virtual spaces can bring us together in incredible ways, they can also create distance and the illusion of non-accountability. We therefore ask that, as you participate in this conference, you keep in mind our ethical responsibilities to one another as partners in dialogue and conversation. Anyone found to violate these expectations during the conference will not be permitted to continue as a participant and may face further consequences from UCSC.

Unfortunately, real-world vulnerabilities produced by structural racism, misogyny, and other forms of oppression can be present anywhere. Thank you for your commitment to fighting those forms of oppression wherever you find them. Thank you for participating in our Practical Activism conference and keeping our UCSC Principles of Community always in mind. And thank you for your solidarity and your patience as we work to make this conference the best that it can be.

Sincerely,

The PAC Planners, College Nine, & John R. Lewis College
