The group that we form will comprise a breadth of identities related to age, religion (or lack thereof), gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, ethnicity, education, ability, class, and political affiliations.

We aspire that this convention will enjoyable for all--built on consent, positive intent, and deep consideration for the impacts our words and actions have on others.
