INCLUSION POLICY
The MAIC is building a community that is free from all forms of violence, discrimination, invisibility and isolation for all Two-Spirit and LGBTQ people and allies. The MAIC and its facilities do not discriminate and/or deny access to its public facilities based on sex, race, creed, religion, color, national origin, age, disability, military/veteran status, gender expression/identity or sexual orientation, including Two Spirit/Native LGBTQ and non-Native LGBTQ individuals. It is the policy of the MAIC to comply with the Minnesota Human Rights Act as State Law, specifically statute 363A.11 subdivisions 1 and 2, in regard to full and equal enjoyment of public accommodations. Any person/s, parties, business or organization contracting the use of facilities of the MAIC must comply with this nondiscrimination policy. Failure to comply with MAIC’s inclusion policy is a violation of MAIC’s Building Use Contract. The MAIC will not enter into any contracts with any person/s, parties, businesses or organizations that have violated or allowed violation of the MAIC’s Building Use Contract.
HEALTHY BEVERAGE POLICY
All beverage offerings, either served or sold, must comply with the MAIC’s Healthy Beverage Policy. The MAIC will promote access to free, safe drinking water at all times and provide only healthy beverages, as specified by beverage standards below, during all meetings (internal and external), events, and programming. Employees and visitors will continue to have personal choice of beverage(s) they purchase outside of the organization and bring to work; however, because we serve community members, we encourage all staff to model healthy choices by choosing not to consume sugary drinks or conceal consumption around community members. This Healthy Beverage Policy applies to requests-for-bids, vendor contracts, and to anyone renting/using space within the MAIC. This Healthy Beverage Policy is explained within all rental/lease agreements. Organizations renting the space will be required to adhere to the policy guidelines when using any rentable space (gymnasium, auditorium, gallery, etc.) within the MAIC.
All beverages served (e.g., at meetings) and sold (e.g., café, vendors) at the MAIC will strive to increase the availability of healthy beverage options by providing the following:
- Water (free, safe drinking water through fountains and similar outlets; unsweetened, 100% fruit-infused, plain or naturally flavored sparkling/seltzer).
- Tea/coffee (unsweetened with only naturally occurring caffeine).
- Milk (plain low-fat [1%] or fat-free [skim], or other unsweetened non-dairy milk alternatives).
- 100% juice (no more than ½ cup or 4-8 ounces per serving, as recommended by the American Heart Association).
