The Bay Area Yarn Crawl is committed to creating a safe event for all. As we gather to Crawl, we come together as a diverse range of people of many races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, ages, socioeconomic classes, physical abilities or attributes, religious or ethical values systems, national origins, and political beliefs.
The Bay Area Yarn Crawl seeks to create an event in which diverse people can celebrate, thrive and succeed, feel they are valued, and know their presence is welcome. We encourage all participants to understand each other and move beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diversity.
The Bay Area Yarn Crawl has a zero-tolerance policy toward discrimination and bullying. We will not tolerate racism, hate speech, discrimination, bullying, exclusion, disrespect, prejudice, harassment, or abuse of any kind. As such, we reserve the right to take appropriate actions including, but not limited to, removing any person who engages in these behaviors from the event.
The Bay Area Yarn Crawl acknowledges that no person or organization is perfect. However, we expect all participants, when in error, to apologize with sincerity and thoughtfulness, decentering their intention and focusing on impact.
