Code of Conduct & Slack Invitation
The Stackhouse campaign strives to elevate itself above the inefficient, unfocused, and mean-spirited status quo of today's politics and as such has defined a Code of Conduct that applies explicitly within campaign spaces to all staff, volunteers, and surrogates - but also is requested of all supporters who wish to publicly advocate for the campaign, its candidate, and its policy agenda. While the campaign cannot control the behavior of every person online and in public, we can do our best to set high expectations and a good example.
After signing the Code of Conduct will will receive an email with an invite link to our Slack community.
- We are policy driven and solutions oriented
- We are committed to nonviolent political action
- We value electoralism, direct action, and direct democracy
- Our criticisms are political and primarily systemic - we are uninterested in criticizing others on a personal basis
- We strive to hold power to account and to never punch down
- We strive to campaign for our policy agenda rather than against the policy agenda of others
- We organize on a foundation of shared political interests as opposed to ideological conformity or partisan alignment
- Debate, disagreement, and compromise are welcome and encouraged as long as they remain in good faith
- It is okay to be wrong in this community
- It is okay for others to be wrong or have a different opinion and you may not attack them for disagreeing
- Attacking the motivations, intentions, or integrity of others is not a good faith disagreement
- No yelling at others including by typing in ALL CAPS
- No hate speech or racial slurs
- You may not be in the group under a false identity
- No doxxing
- Conversations are considered private to the group unless consent to share outside of the community is given
Remember that this Code of Conduct applies equally to you as it does to everyone else in our organizing spaces - if you experience or witness examples of failure to adhere to it then please feel empowered to report what you see to publicstackhouse+grievances@gmail.com.
If you understand and agree to this Code of Conduct then we are delighted to have you in our organizing community! Welcome aboard.
