BQIC’s Free Resource Friday is coming back this Friday February 22nd @ 6:00-8:00 PM! We’ll be distributing free food, free hygiene items, and free clothes outside of the Jackson Pike Jail (2460 Jackson Pike). Typically we set up in black or low-income neighborhoods to pass out resources, but this time we’ll be outside the jail so we can also provide aid to the folks getting out of jail for the day. All who need resources are welcome to stop by! If you’d like to volunteer or if you’d like to donate items, message us or email us at blackqueercolumbus@gmail.com! Flyer design: @a.s.l.princess
Valentine's Day marks 500 days Edith Espinal has been living in sanctuary in Columbus, OH. Instead of roses, express your love and solidarity by giving $12, $24, or $36 and share this post! #LetEdithStay @solidaritywithedith
We are so thankful to all who came out to the Trans Prisoner Solidarity event in Cincinnati yesterday. The strategy session, MAJOR! film screening, and panel discussion were all insightful and energizing! Along with the other co-hosting orgs from yesterday, we created OPALL — the Ohio Prison Abolition LGBTQ+ League. OPALL is a statewide coalition that will work to aid our queer and trans siblings caged behind prison walls. Contact us if you’d like to receive updates on how to plug in! #BlackTransLivesMatter #BurnThePrisons #NoClosetsNoCages
Please join us for Trans Prisoner Day of Action and Solidarity in Cincinnati, Ohio! LINK IN BIO. (Artwork by Art Twink. Find more at https://www.tdor.co) In support of the Trans Prisoner Day of Solidarity and Action, we are co-hosting an event this Saturday January 26th @ 4:00-7:00 PM to bring awareness and support to trans prisoners in Ohio. There will be a Trans Performance Showcase, a screening of Major (https://www.missmajorfilm.com/), and a panel of prison abolitionist activists to answer questions about how folks in Ohio can plug into this very much needed work. Light refreshments and postcards to send to queer and trans prisoners in Ohio will be provided. Please join us! Here is more info about the national call: https://transprisoners.wordpress.com/about/
Our next open mic is Tuesday 1/22 at 8:00 PM located at @artoutsidethelines! Come out and share your poems, songs, monologues, inner musings, good encounters, bad days etc. on the mic! ALL are welcome to attend. Entry is a $5 suggested donation! We will have alcohol, beer, and snacks for suggested donations! Please consider donating art supplies to Art Outside the Lines which is a great art program for people with disabilities. We will have the lovely Monee Jae ( @copperlove ) to MC the event and DJ @zewmageddon spinnin’ sounds for the night! Stay tuned for upcoming contests to help spread the word!
