Group: Empowermentors
About us
Contents
The Empowermentors Collective is a skillshare, activism, and discussion network for intersectionally marginalized people of color (for example people of color with disabilities, trans* people of color, queer people of color, and women of color).
We are a group of community members with a strong commitment to furthering free software and free culture through an intersectionally marginalized lens and making a more welcoming space out of these communities. We therefore necessarily also work against and do not tolerate oppression in all its forms: ableism, racism, cissexism, heterosexism, sexism, classism, etc.
The Empowermentors Collective strives to be an affirming and safer space for people with disabilities, people of color, women, and people self-identified as queer or LGBT.
We are called Empowermentors because we focus on education and encourage participants to host workshops and skillshares geared towards intersectionally marginalized identities.
- We maintain a safer space for marginalized identity groups.
- We address issues of oppression within the free software and free culture communities.
- We equip each other with skills and knowledge of free software and free culture.
- We file, catalog, and help solve bugs related to race, gender, and accessibility in free software projects.
- We take on mentorship positions and run targeted workshops, classes, and skillshares.
We operate in accordance with the LibrePlanet Mission Statement and Code of Conduct.
