SAFE SPACE STATEMENT

Nvy Blk was formed as a space to ensure those who live in the area have a virtual place to meet neighbors and build community. Nvy Blk wants to guarantee that everyone feels free in expressing themselves and help prevent some of the common problems experienced in our society becoming a part of our community. We are building a supportive, non-threatening environment where all community members can feel comfortable to express themselves and share experiences without fear of discrimination or reprisal or bullying.
