Creating Change is a national political, leadership, and skill-building conference for the LGBTQ community, organized and hosted annually by the National LGBTQ Task Force. The day-long Bisexual+ Institute at Creating Change is an important event in bi+ organizing! 

LGBTQIA2S+ (plus) leaders at Creating Change do not get financial compensation for the time, energy, and emotional and intellectual labor they invest into organizing the institute, outside of the waiver of their registration fees. They have to figure out, on their own, how they'll get there, where to stay, how they'll eat, and how to get around at the conference.

Statistically, bi+ (plus) folk are more likely to be un- or underemployed than both straight people AND gays and lesbians - and that's especially true for bi+ (plus) folk who are also BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color). In addition, many of us tend to have multiple disabilities and access needs, which becomes another financial barrier (in the U.S., 82.5% of disabled people are UNEMPLOYED).

The Bisexual+ Institute is a critically important part of Creating Change, but without facilitators, it won't happen! If you are able, please consider making a contribution by CLICKING HERE, or share to spread the word! Thank you!

January's Bi+ Book Club selection will be "Kiss of the Fur Queen" by Tomson Highway. We will meet on Wednesday, January 2 at 7:00 pm at Quatrefoil Library. 

Summary: "Born into a magical Cree world in snowy northern Manitoba, Champion and Ooneemeetoo Okimasis are all too soon torn from their family and thrust into the hostile world of a Catholic residential school. Their language is forbidden, their names are changed to Jeremiah and Gabriel, and both boys are abused by priests.As young men, estranged from their own people and alienated from the culture imposed upon them, the Okimasis brothers fight to survive. Wherever they go, the Fur Queen — a wily, shape-shifting trickster — watches over them with a protective eye. For Jeremiah and Gabriel are destined to be artists. Through music and dance they soar."
