Much of their work on anti-harassment policies and codes of conduct have been applied at conferences and other tech-related events over the last three years. I also think Ada Initiative's work in running ally workshops for men has been super useful in shifting our culture to be more supportive of women in tech, hacking and making stuff. I'd like to see more of those cultural changes spread to hackerspaces!<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">My second request is for people who are involved with a hackerspace to put up a link to their anti-harassment policy or code of conduct on <a href="http://hackerspaces.org/" target="_blank">hackerspaces.org</a>!<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br>Please donate to Ada Initiative from my post, or by using this link,<br><br><a href="https://adainitiative.org/donate/?campaign=hackerspaces" target="_blank">https://adainitiative.org/donate/?campaign=hackerspaces</a><br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Thanks!<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">- Liz<br><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></span></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
