Values and Code of Conduct

Why we exist

At Peer2Peer.Live we believe that connecting to community is a vital part of what it means to be human. Unfortunately, in a world where anti-Blackness, ableism, racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia run rampant it can be difficult for marginalized people to form safe and supportive communities online. Peer2Peer.Live provides a broadcaster directory that helps content creators and viewers with marginalized identities connect to and empower one another.

Our values

Identity matters: Who we are determines how we show up in the world. We form community based on our identities, they give us purpose, they deserve to be celebrated.
Peer support is powerful: People who share marginalized identities help each other navigate various systems of oppression whether its asking each other for advice, organizing to build power and breakdown oppression, or simply existing as possibility models for one another.
Solidarity is a practice: We work to understand and uplift what other communities go through. We try to inspire compassion and action that supports those communities.
Accountability always: We have a responsibility to create supportive environments on our platforms. That means taking responsibility for monitoring chat rooms and holding ourselves to high personal standards of counteracting oppression and working to undo oppressive systems. When we make mistakes, we acknowledge it and we change our behavior.
