Guidelines
GMCN is a peer-led network shaped by lived experiences of HIV.
We gather to learn, laugh, reflect, disagree, and build something meaningful. We shape the tone and spirit of our community together.
How We Show Up Together
The spoken and unspoken practices that guide how we gather, collaborate, and care for one another.
Confidentiality
We care for one another's stories as something shared in trust.
Respect
We approach one another with dignity.
Speak From Experience
We share from our lived experiences rather than speak on behalf of others.
Share the Space
We stay aware of airtime, energy, and attention.
Engage With Care
We challenge ideas thoughtfully and remain curious with one another.
Participation Looks Different
We understand that listening and sharing are both meaningful forms of participation.
Digital Awareness
We remain mindful of tone, privacy, and presence.
Compassion
We show up as we are and extend that generosity to others.
