Noisebridge is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, housing status, or language. We do not tolerate harassment of people at our events or space in any form.

This is the current anti-harassment policy adopted on May 23rd, 2023. Further down, is the older policy approved in 2018.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments, jokes, gestures and stereotyping related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, non-consensual photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, persistent uninvited communication, hate speech, trolling, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Harassment can also take the form of physically blocking an individual from freely moving about or leaving the space as well as micro aggressions, for example: casual racism or sexism, bullying and use of intimidation to create a hostile environment.

People asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge community participant.
