Before our open mic tonight, Black Power Book Club will be meeting up at 7:00! As a nice change of pace (because we've been struggling to keep up with reading too), we'll be watching Assata's documentary "Eyes of the Rainbow" during our time together with a short discussion afterwards. Next month, we'll finish up the book and cover Chapters 16-epilogue. Here’s a brief yet mighty clip from the documentary that we’ll be watching together (caption in the comments). See you later tonight!

Our spoken word is tomorrow!! Please come out and show your support! We are raising money for our emergency fund as many requests are already coming back in. Suggested donation $5-$10 to hear 🔥 beats and dope poets. Help us support a need in our community. See you tomorrow!

We closing out Sag Szn with a massive dance party + fundraiser: LAVA REIGN. DJs Zewmageddon & Honey Brown will be spinning sounds + scrambling minds all night long. An element that seethes. Lava is THEE coldest form of fire because though it is a thoroughly powerful source of heat, lava invokes earth matter. It is molten rock. Lave can be up to 100.000 times thicker than water & still flow long instances. Lava is an incredible element & we are too. Relish in the setting with BQIC and friends as we sonically, kinesthetically, and emotionally explore the power invoked in reaching a long-awaited destination. 12/21 • 9PM - END • Vanderelli Room POC: Suggested entry of $5 White people: Suggested entry of $10 or more (Y’all want proximity to blackness and access to black spaces? Then y’all gon pay us for it.) No one will be turned away for funds, so if you ain’t got it, we got you. Funds raised will go to our emergency fund for Black LGBTQIA+ people experiencing crises.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance/Resilience/Resistance, we are sending lots of love to our trans family today, and that goes double for our Black trans family. We’re also sending lots of love to the families and friends of those who lost their lives. As we sit in our grief for those who were taken from this world, we must also remain steadfast in our desire to protect and support the most vulnerable who are still with us. Today (and everyday), we say the names of those we’ve lost, and we’ll keep saying them until we live in the kind of world where Black trans women only ever die of old age.

November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR). Tomorrow, Trans Ohio will be holding a ceremony at 6:30 PM at King Ave UMC (299 King Ave) for us all to come together and mourn the stolen lives of our trans siblings. One of our co-founders and core organizers, Dkéama Alexis, will be speaking at this event. We’ll see y’all at King Ave UMC tomorrow. #TDOR #StopKillingUs #BlackTransLivesMatter

Snapshots of the last two events from our Month for Black Trans Life and Liberation! We had the 3rd Annual Recognition Night for Trans/Non-Binary/GNC People of Color on 11/15, and it was such a joyous, affirming night! This event keeps growing year by year: there were around 70 honorees total! Then the following day, our very own Charlie Stewart moderated their first panel at Black Liberation: Resistance and Resilience, an event hosted by the Catalyst Project. They discussed current day Black liberation work with Veronica Morris-Moore, Aesha Rasheed, and Aramis Malachi-Ture Sundiata. Stay tuned for the last two events of the month, and keep sharing our donation link (you can find it in our bio)!
