Report
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a local meeting organizer, the Samvera Community Helpers (email), a community member you trust, or the Samvera Steering Group immediately.
Escalate
If you are at a meeting or other event, find an event organizer, a Samvera helper, or a representative of the Steering Group. He or she will assist you. Samvera meeting organizers can be identified by their name badges, and will help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the meeting/conference.
If you are in the Samvera IRC channel, a bot named "zoia" can list people designated as channel helpers if you issue the

You may also send email to the Samvera Community Helpers (email) or the Samvera Steering Group; their names are available on the Hydra Samvera wiki.If you have been harassed over email, you may send email to the Samvera Community Helpers (email) or the Samvera Steering Group; their names are available on the Samvera wiki.

Then, the community should revise the policy or protocol appropriately to ensure a safe and welcoming community in which harassment is not tolerated.
