Empower Our Asian Voices 

* 1.

• I understand that I am entering a safe space devoted to giving Asian-Americans an opportunity to speak about their experiences and to empower them and that it is also my responsibility to ensure that this space is free of judgement and prejudice.
• I understand that what’s said here stays here and that if I am found speaking about a participating individual's personal information and spreading rumors, I will not be allowed to participate in future discussions.
• I understand that the discussion facilitators and participants are not experts in this field and that most of them are students like me that are here to learn, discuss, and educate one another of our shared and differed experiences as Asian-Americans.
• I understand that I have the right to feel safe and unjudged when I participate in the discussion forum and if I don’t I can reach out to the discussion moderator privately regarding my concerns to work toward a more inclusive space for all.
• I understand that I don’t have to participate or share my experiences if I don’t feel comfortable and that I can join when I feel ready.
• I understand that I am participating in a productive and collaborative dialogue where we are working together to understand another’s experiences and that I will use my best active listening skills and be engaged to understand, make meaning, and find a common ground.
• I understand that if I ridicule, disrespect, make light of, or in any way create an unsafe environment for other participants, I will be removed from the discussion and will not participate in future discussion forums.
