A shared culture of care.
AFW gatherings should feel safe, generous, and accountable across age, background, identity, and experience.
- Respectful
- Welcoming
- Consent-aware
- Anti-harassment
- Intergenerational
AFW encourages friendships and connections among members. Members are welcome to organize personal gatherings and private events. Official AFW events posted on Luma, however, are publicly announced and open to all community members unless otherwise noted.
