=== About us ===
 
 
 
The Empowermentors Collective is a skillshare, activism, and discussion network by and for intersectionally people of of color (for example women 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 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]].
