Community Group Description
Marginalized individuals are often subjected to abuses within cultic environments.
This could be due to many factors, such as gender inequality, discrimination, patriarchal systems, or the instilled prejudices of the high-control system.
​
People Leave Cults seeks to be an accessible resource for marginalized groups, including women, people with disabilities, people with neurodivergence, people of color, LGBTQIA2S+ folks, Indigenous peoples, people of lower socio-economic status, and more.
We believe it’s important to ask the following questions:
​
-
How are cult recovery organizations tackling issues of accessibility?
-
Are organizations in cult recovery transparent?
-
What steps are being taken to create safe spaces that are accessible to marginalized populations?
​
This community group offers cult-affected individuals the ability to reflect, find community, and initiate relationships with cult-informed professionals. If you are seeking insight on coercive control, undue influence, and cult recovery, you are welcome and encouraged to attend.
Accessibility and Safety
To ensure a good experience for all attendees and participants, People Leave Cults offers the following accessibility considerations:
​
-
Sharing pronouns verbally or as a part of your attendee display name can create a safer environment for everyone. However, you have the option to opt out of sharing your pronouns if you don't want to, no questions asked!
-
Closed captioning will be available.
-
Participants can choose whether or not to enable their video during the Zoom meeting.
-
Participants can self-disclose what they feel comfortable sharing.
-
Participants will also have the ability to leave feedback with the organizers.
