Safer Space Policy

 
 
 

CoZiLV (short for Comics and Zines Las Vegas) began in the summer of 2019 as a zine festival held at the LGBT Center of Las Vegas. Since then Team CoZi has hosted numerous zine workshops and zine hangouts throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Zines (pronounced “zeens”) are non-commercial, handmade booklets or pamphlets that are reproduced through photocopiers. CoZiLV was created by three friends who wanted to carve out safe and inclusive spaces in Las Vegas for fellow creators and artists to express their thoughts and ideas.

Our zine events are a safe place to share ideas, encourage one another, and make new friends


Follow these guidelines to help make Co-Zi LV a safer space.

  •     Inquire about and respect the physical and emotional boundaries of others.

  •     Be responsible and accountable for your words and actions.

  •    Always get explicit verbal consent before touching anyone or taking anyone’s photo.

  •   Respect peoples’ differing opinions, beliefs, points of view and states of being.

The following are prohibited and will not be tolerated:

  •     Racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, ableism, transphobia, queerphobia, ageism, sizeism, religious intolerance and all other forms of discrimination.

  •     Sexual harassment, inappropriate/unwelcome comments/behaviors.

  •     Disrespectful or disruptive behavior.

  •     Theft of money or property, squatting at empty tables.

  •     Physical, verbal, mental abuse or intimidation.

  •     Causing a participant or attendee to feel distressed or unsafe.

The content of participants of Co-Zi LV is not pre-screened or censored prior to the event, nor can we promise to preemptively mute any oppressive or problematic behaviors by participants or attendees. If individuals find certain materials to be oppressive or problematic, or if you witness or experience prohibited language or behaviors, Co-Zi LV organizers encourage you to reach out to us to investigate and take proper action. Co-Zi LV reserves the right to ask anyone in violation of the safer space policy to reconcile their behavior or be asked to leave. Thank you for your support and assistance in making Co-Zi LV a safer space.

TL;DR be kind or you will be asked to leave
