Safer Spaces
Grid Zine Festival is a safer space, which means we strive to create an environment in which all community members feel welcomed and can participate and connect. Grid Zine Festival will not tolerate racism, queerphobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, fatphobia/sizeism, classism, threats of violence, or other hate speech.
Land Acknowledgement
Grid Zine Fest takes place in so-called Salt Lake City, which exists on Ute and Shoshone territories in Utah, in which Goshute, Paiute, and Diné peoples also have territories. We honor the land and those who have stewarded the land, even in the face of systemic adversity.
COVID-19 Policy
Grid Zine Fest is dedicated to keeping our community safe. Since 2020, we have been monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic carefully and following city and state guidelines to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Although we are returning to in-person events in 2022, we encourage mask wearing and we will continue to take precautions to help everyone stay healthy.
