Bi+ Book Club
Wednesday, August 7 at 7:00 pm
Quatrefoil Library: 1220 E Lake Street Minneapolis MN 55407

Do you love to read and talk about books? Join Bisexual Organizing Project-BOP's Bi+ Book Club, a place to read fiction, biography, creative non-fiction, history, theory, and activist works. Come discuss readings and ideas about, for, and by bisexuals and other non-monosexual folks. Hosted by Cary.

The Bi+ Book Club reading for August will be "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides.

Summary: "Middlesex tells the breathtaking story of Calliope Stephanides, and three generations of the Greek-American Stephanides family, who travel from a tiny village overlooking Mount Olympus in Asia Minor to Prohibition-era Detroit, witnessing its glory days as the Motor City and the race riots of 1967 before moving out to the tree-lined streets of suburban Grosse Pointe, Michigan. To understand why Calliope is not like other girls, she has to uncover a guilty family secret, and the astonishing genetic history that turns Callie into Cal, one of the most audacious and wondrous narrators in contemporary fiction. Lyrical and thrilling, Middlesex is an exhilarating reinvention of the American epic."

Friday, June 14th 6-9 pm.
This event is FREE and open to all.

Bisexual Organizing Project - BOP will be facilitating a flag making art studio.

Join us for a free evening of readings, performances, and gallery conversations exploring LGBTQ+ identities and reflecting on the significance of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. Co-curated by poet, politician, and transgender rights activist Andrea Jenkins.

Hear readings from the new anthology "Queer Voices: Poetry, Prose, and Pride" (MNHS Press, May 2019) by authors John Medeiros, Andrea Jenkins, Lisa Marie Brimmer, Anthony Ceballos, and Kimberly Brown. Enjoy pop-up activations in the galleries by performance artists. Take a tour of art in the collection that reflects the social and cultural constructions of gender, sexuality, and identity. Watch the film Stonewall Uprising, detailing the events surrounding the Stonewall riots in 1969, which marked a major turning point in the modern gay civil rights movement in the United States and around the world. Listen to music in the lobby, make art in the studios, add your story to a communal timeline with Telling Queer History and socialize with friends, new and old.

Bi+ Hike Lebanon Hills Park 6/9/19

6/7/2019

Do you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and spend an afternoon surrounded by nature?
Come join Bisexual Organizing Project for a hike in Lebanon Hills Park in Eagan, Minnesota on Sunday, June 9!
We'll start off with a picnic from 1pm-2pm next to the parking lot at the Holland Lake entrance to the park, near the intersection of Cliff and Lexington Avenue. We'll be bringing snacks, and feel free to bring your own food if you want! (Please notify us if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions.)

The entrance to the park is not accessible by public transit, but if you don't have a car and want to come, then make a post on this page or email emily@bisexualorganizingproject.org
and we'll include you in a carpool to the park!
Or if you decide to come at the last minute, just show up at the front entrance of Common Roots Cafe (2558 Lyndale Ave S) at 12:15pm and we'll have a carpool there!

We will be walking a 5-mile loop along a view woodland trails and along a few lakes. The trail has some elevation gain (about 300 feet over the course of 5 miles) and is of moderate difficulty, but should be doable by most people. The trail is made up of dirt, mulch, and natural hiking path. You will need socks and comfortable tennis or hiking shoes for this trail. Much of the path is wooded and passes some water. Sometimes the trails get muddy.
Bring water, bug spray, and sunscreen. Dress for the weather. We will not cancel the hike unless the weather is severe.

This trail is not wheel chair accessible, but the picnic area is and you're welcome to come to the picnic.
This event is alcohol and drug free.

Well behaved pets and children are welcome. Please follow park rules.
