[Wamvan] Doc Screening - Our Lives to Fight For

Fri Jan 6 14:24:32 PST 2012

I think reiterating the core values and confidentiality agreement is key!
Also, any information being taken outside of this space including anyone
being misrepresented in anyway is a grave issue that needs to be addressed.

While I strongly believe in safer spaces (I don't believe any space is ever
entirely safe for everyone), I don't think that translates to spaces free
from discomfort or uncomfortable conversations. I find that space of
discomfort and ambiguity can be highly productive for critical dialogue and
change based on that dialogue.

I respect and want to acknowledge anyone who is feeling unsafe in the
listserv, however I hope that anyone who is uncomfortable with opinions or
conservations expressed in this space will reflect on the safety of the
space in a critical and thoughtful way.

Best,
Lindsay
