BUMP Mural Tour Guides are First Aid Certified; will carry a stocked First Aid Kit and Naloxone Injection Kit; and will carry a charged cell phone and list of Emergency Contacts.
Stay Together
Tour Participants should stay with the tour guide and the group. Tour guides will wait for everyone at street crossings or any place that the group may have to separate momentarily.
Stay Alert
Tours will take place in public and outdoors. There may be uneven walking surfaces, debris, or other hazards that we cannot control, so watch your step.
Respect People and Spaces
Tours will take place in shared spaces, which may mean interactions with unfamiliar people. We ask that you treat everyone with kindness and dignity.
Respect the spaces we are in and refrain from intentionally damaging property.
Your Rights and Responsibilities
Harassment, Hate Speech and Harm will not be tolerated. Infringement of the rights and safety of any other tour participant or the tour guide may result in the tour being ended early, or the removal of the tour participant. If at any point during the tour you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, please let your Tour Guide know.
Dignity and Respect
The Tour Guide and Participants should uphold an environment where everyone is treated with respect, and is not subjected to harassment or discrimination.
Expression
Tour Participants have the right to engage and participate in dialogue, examine diverse views and ideas; and to share feedback.

Safety
