We will not tolerate harassment in any form and reserve the right to remove a person or persons from any Brattleboro Literary Festival event who engages in behavior that includes but not limited to unwanted advances, stalking, verbal threats, inappropriate statements or gestures, sustained disruption of speakers, and disrespectful comments that go beyond the boundaries of civil disagreement and civic discourse. This may also include remarks or actions that target people based on their race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or disability status.
