Our Shared Purpose
This community exists to equip communities with media, food systems, and nonprofit tools to respond effectively when disaster strikes.
We are modeled after the real-world work of Altadena Talks, which means:
- We value truth over hype
- Community voices over clout
- Action over theory
1. Lead With Service, Not Self-Promotion
This is not a marketing group.
✅ Allowed:
- Sharing tools, lessons, and case studies
- Asking for help or feedback
- Offering collaboration when relevant
🚫 Not allowed:
- Drive-by promo posts
- Affiliate spam
- “Buy my course” without context or contribution
Rule of thumb:
If your post doesn’t help a community respond, recover, or rebuild—rethink it.
2. Respect Disaster Lived Experience
Many members:
- Have lost homes
- Are displaced
- Are grieving
- Are actively responding to crises
Zero tolerance for:
- Dismissive language
- Disaster tourism
- Political baiting
- Trauma exploitation
Speak with care, humility, and context.
3. Podcasting Is a Tool — Not the Point
Podcasting here is infrastructure, not entertainment.
Posts should focus on:
- Community impact
- Information flow
- Trust-building
- Documentation & accountability
This is not about downloads for ego—it’s about reach for recovery.
4. Food Justice & Mutual Aid Are Sacred Work
Food programs shared here should:
- Prioritize dignity
- Avoid savior narratives
- Center local leadership
Do not:
- Undermine grassroots efforts
- Shame communities for how they receive aid
- Compete destructively for resources
5. No Misinformation — Ever
If you share:
- Emergency info
- Funding claims
- Government resources
- Grant opportunities
You must:
- Verify sources
- Label speculation clearly
- Correct mistakes publicly if found
Misinformation during disaster causes harm. Period.
6. Collaboration Over Competition
This is a city-to-city learning space, not a leaderboard.
Encouraged:
- Sharing templates
- Cross-pollinating ideas
- Co-creating response strategies
Discouraged:
- “My model is better than yours”
- Credit hoarding
- Gatekeeping knowledge
7. Confidentiality & Safety
What’s shared in this community stays here unless explicitly approved.
🚫 Do not:
- Screenshot private posts
- Share personal stories externally
- Expose vulnerable individuals or locations
This is a trusted room.
8. Enforcement
Violations may result in:
- Post removal
- Warning
- Temporary mute
- Permanent removal
No public shaming. No debates about moderation.
