Our Values and Agreements

We commit to the ongoing practice of antiracism + have zero tolerance for optical allyship, a term coined by Latham Thomas to mean allyship that is purely virtue signaling, performative, and surface-level. We fundamentally value a diversity of thoughts, ideas, beliefs, experiences, + the inclusion of people regardless of their race, gender, color, language, national origin, religion, disabilities, sexual orientation, or age.

We examine and confront our own assumptions + perceptions and reject white supremacy. We honor the voices + experiences of BIPOC women in all spaces. NINE is committed to building safer spaces for women and femmes in honoring that - individual experiences shared within our spaces are to remain confidential and not to be shared with others.
