− | === About us ===
| |
− | __TOC__
| |
− | | |
− | 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 [[LibrePlanet:Mission_Statement|Mission Statement]] and [[LibrePlanet:Code_of_Conduct|Code of Conduct]].
