Bi-lesque: Under Our Umbrella Saturday, January 13, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm LUSH, 990 Central Ave NE, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55413 Looking for an opportunity to meet, build community, and celebrate bi+ identities? Bisexual Organizing Project-BOP is back at it, ready to throw a fabulous party in the new year with Bi-lesque: Under Our Umbrella! The event will feature a variety of phenomenal local bi+ performers and entertainers in the name of bi-visibility! We believe featuring inclusive art that represents our non-monosexual community is an effective way to battle bi-erasure and bi-phobia. By celebrating individuals within the bi+ umbrella in a joyous and entertaining light, who wouldn't want to jump on the equality train to take down the hierarchy? Show is open to everyone 18 years and older. No umbrella can thrive without people to hold it up with pride! #Bilesque: #UnderOurUmbrella Admission: $15 Bring tips! VIP seats: $30 or $75 a table. Contact: Leah.Yoemans@bisexualorganizingproject.org for your seats today! Donations welcome! Contact: Leah.Yoemans@bisexualorganizingproject.org Would you like to sponsor this event?

BECAUSEBECAUSE 2020
BECAUSE 2020 Cancelled The BECAUSE leadership team and the BOP board have been reviewing forecasts for what this Fall will look like including continued COVID hotspots, limitations on travel, and how people are going to be feeling about being large groups. We feel the most responsible action at this time is to cancel BECAUSE 2020. We have explored moving the conference on line as many conferences and gatherings have done and find it is not the best option for BECAUSE. The BOP board is developing virtual community building that we hope will help bridge this time for our community. Please check out BOP's Facebook Page, Facebook Group, Meetup Group, and Twitter to stay informed of upcoming events. We are currently in discussion with our location, Wellstone Center, and our planned speakers and special guests to make BECAUSE 2021 one of the best ever. We hope you will join us in October 2021. MissionBuild, serve and advocate for an empowered bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community to promote social justice. Vision
Within the next five years grow Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP) into a successfully-run Upper Midwest nonprofit organization with annual funding of $100,000 that provides community building, education, and advocacy for the bisexual, pansexual, fluid, queer, and unlabeled (bi+) community and our allies.
