PRIVACY:

Leadership will maintain confidentiality of member’s information. Members won’t share personal information, photos, or contact details without consent.

RESPECTFUL:

Disagreements are natural, but personal attacks or hostile behavior are not acceptable.

COURTESY TO STAFF:

Treat congressional staff with respect, even when disagreeing with their representative’s position on a particular issue. Also, be respectful toward members of the Leadership Team.

INCLUSIVE:

All members should feel welcome regardless of background. Offensive language, harassment, intimidation, unwelcome contact, or discriminatory behavior will not be tolerated.

HARASSMENT POLICY:

Harassment includes offensive comments, threats, stalking, unwanted recording, disruptions, or inappropriate physical/sexual conduct. 

COMMUNICATION:

During the general meetings, members will be asked to raise their hand if they have a specific question and/or comment. Comments will be limited to 2 minutes.

Small group facilitators will determine the time allocated for each member to speak and assign a designee who reports to the large group.

RALLIES:

Only a designated spokesperson who represents Indivisible Bemidji will be allowed to speak to the press on behalf of the organization.

VIOLATION:

Contact the Leadership Team if you have questions, experience or witness a violation of this Code of Conduct. Members who fail to abide by the Code of Conduct aren’t welcome at IB sponsored events.
