=== About us ===
 
 
 
The Empowermentors Collective is a skillshare, activism, and discussion network by and for women of color and queer people of color. We are a group of community members with a strong commitment to furthering free software and free culture through an intersectional anti-oppression lens and making a more welcoming space out of these communities. We therefore necessarily also work against and do not tolerate ableism, racism, cissexism, heterosexism, sexism, and classism.
 
 
 
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 targeted towards one or more of the identity groups listed above.
 
 
 
* 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]].
