POSTING GUIDELINES
We post public Boston-area events we find out about through our networks. We post here, on Twitter, and on our online calendar. Our goal is to share events that work for liberation and justice. We follow these guidelines:
-“Events” can be workshops, rallies, conferences, panels, trainings, calls for art, and more.
-They address how multiple forms of oppression function togethe
r. We would not share an environmental event that does not tackle racism, uplift indigenous sovereignty, etc.)
-They center people who are historically marginalized: Native, Black, LGBTQ, immigrants, people with disabilities, and more. We would not share a panel comprised of all white people, or an art event featuring all men, or if there is only token representation in leadership roles, etc.)
-They engage organizers, artivists, educators, hacktivists, and community members.
-We share events by political parties if they meet the above guidelines.
-We as a team do not endorse any particular political party.
-We share hearings at the State House, petitions to elected officials, or other similar events if they are endorsed by groups whose work follow the above guidelines.
-We reserve the right to remove events and comments. ACCOUNTABILITY
Core Team:
We are local organizers, educators, aristivists, and hacktivists. Our individual bios are coming soon. Accountability Board:
Our accountability board, which we continue to actively grow, is comprised of local people at the forefront of various movements and grassroots work. Accountability board members have and will continue to vet both our vision and specific action plans. It is important that they are compensated for their time, expertise, lived experience, and emotional labor. Therefore, fundraising will explicitly include this intention. Community Accountability:
We have held one-on-one meetings with various leaders of local organizations to gather feedback on this project. Our goal is to continue meeting with representatives of the organizations whose events we share. We ask: How could this project support your work? What pitfalls would you anticipate in a project like this? And other questions to ensure that this project is uplifting and supporting work already being done. The website will have a section with their profiles. Do reach out to us:
If we share events that are oppressive themselves, please write us a message to call us out and call us in. If you would like us to share an event, please send us a private message here on Facebook, and we will add it if it aligns with our values. If you have any other questions and concerns, please contact us via email or message us on Facebook. With gratitude
- ActCal organizers
