Center DC is a faith-based community in the DC metro accessible area that meets the spiritual, social needs of people practicing and exploring Islam. At a basic level, we expect people who attend our events to be respectful of others in their actions, behavior and words. This expectation applies to individual conducted both during AND outside of official Center DC events. In an effort to keep the spaces we hold as safe as possible for all attendees, we've developed a process for handling situations that fall outside of appropriate interactions. Step 1 of that process is to let us know about the harm caused and put it in writing. You can do so by filling out the form below.
Because of our commitment to building community, we take all reporting/disclosures seriously and are committed to hold space for individuals who have been harmed, to protect others from further harm, and to implement restorative justice when possible.
The following form is intended to serve as a first step. Below is a brief summary of what you can expect from Center DC.
1. Complaint is submitted in writing (using this form)
2. A member of our Safe(r)Space Committee with contact you to do an intake via phone. *NOTE: We are committed to keeping your identity confidential and only share this information with the member(s) of our Safe(r)Space Committee doing the intake.
3. The person conducting the intake will share their findings -keeping all parties involved anonymous - with a small committee of 3-5 professionals from our community. The committee will issue a recommendation for next steps.
4. Our officer team (Lauren, Muhammad & Osama) will implement those next steps.
In severe issues, we may immediately ask the accused to refrain from attending Center DC until the issue is resolved.
Thank you for taking this brave step to help keep our community safe and welcoming.
