Excluding anyone from our community based on their race, ethnicity, color, age, religion, marital or parental status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, genetic characteristics, national origin, disability, military or veteran status, political opinions or affiliations, or any other legally protected characteristic or status diminishes us and compromises our ability to fulfill our mission. Discrimination against others based on any of these factors, or any other legally protected classifications, is prohibited. Discriminatory harassment and other offensive acts include any conduct, whether verbal, visual, or physical, that creates an abusive and hostile work environment, or that has the purpose or effect of interfering with an employee's work performance or development.
