Just Marketing® strives to foster an inclusive, diverse, supportive, and safe environment for all. As such, we reserve the right to take action including but not limited to hiding, deleting, blocking, and reporting any posts/accounts that violate our community agreements across all branded social media properties.
1. Be Kind, Courteous, & Welcoming
We value justice, equity, and diversity within our businesses and lives. We do not assume the race, class, gender, sexuality, or ability of anyone else. We will use inclusive and non-appropriative language including but not limited to gender-inclusive language (y’all, folks, people, community… we don't use tribe) and we collectively respect pronouns and use the names that people choose to be identified by.
2. Zero Tolerance For Hate Speech Or Bullying
Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things like race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, size, gender or identity will not be tolerated. Anti-blackness, homophobia, transphobia, classism, fatphobia, etc. will result in immediate removal.
3. Have Fun Building Community Through Participation & Engagement
Creating a community is dependent on ALL of us. Please introduce yourself, ask questions, share what you’re working on (challenges, wins, fun stories, etc), AND take the time to authentically engage and connect with other members.
4. No One Knows Everything, Together We Know A Lot
We are all at different points in our journeys when it comes to business, marketing, accessibility, and inclusion. We’re not expected to be experts. We’re committing to a lifetime process of learning and growing. As such, we avoid jargon, acronyms, and industry language – opting instead for inclusive language that is accessible for people with varying inside knowledge.
5. Address Debates & Disagreements With Respect
Not everyone comes in with the same set of experiences and knowledge. We assume that people have good intentions by giving the benefit of the doubt and asking questions.
Practice substituting “and” for “but” when speaking. This acknowledges and honors multiple realities, and supports creating spaciousness around our binary ways.
Please, always have positive intent yourself, and take responsibility for the impact of your actions and words on others. Denying our impact by focusing on intent can be more destructive than the initial interaction.
When presented with new information – we commit to listening, reflecting, educating ourselves, and being open to changing our opinions. We acknowledge that we all make mistakes AND can learn from them.
6. Honor The Confidentiality Of Others.
Authentic, expressive discussions make communities great, but may also be sensitive and private. What's shared within private communities should stay in the community. Do not share or make public the stories, identities, or situations of others without their explicit permission.
7. No Promotions Or Spam
Give more than you take. Self-promotion, spam, and irrelevant links aren't allowed. We reserve the right to delete posts that fall under this category. From time to time, we will make space for people to specifically promote their businesses.
