TODAY AT 4PM: Join BQIC for our rescheduled Free Resource Friday event! Come out to Community Grounds at 1134 Parsons Ave to pick up and/or donate resources Friday, December 2nd from 4-6pm! These will be our new winter hours for the monthly passout. We know that it can be difficult getting this word out to folks who need it most so please share this post directly with those you know who may be in need! We have plenty of clothes, hygiene products, menstrual products, and more, so please feel free to pick up items for loved ones as well.

The BQIC Emergency Fund is now open for December 2022.

Give to BQIC this giving Tuesday! Giving Tuesday is a day where we recognize grassroots organizations and initiatives to support. BQIC is not a traditional 501c3 which makes it harder for us to fundraise and seek grant opportunities. Your funds go directly to support Black lgbtqia+ people’s livelihoods, organizing and community care and healing.

Repost from @ndncollective :

Special announcement!!! Our art build (the event where we make signs and other art) for the March for Black Trans Life and Liberation is coming up this Saturday!! Join us 4-6pm at 911 Parsons Ave!! Reminder to pull up for Black trans folks on Sunday, 4-6pm, beginning at North High and West Poplar St. We hope you’re staying warm this holiday season and that you’ll come out to support all the Black trans folks in your lives and around the world 🖤🖤🖤 ASL interpretation will be provided.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR), a day where we uplift and honor our beautiful Black Trans siblings who’ve died at the hands of state violence and interpersonal violence. Trans people deserved to be protected and celebrated and loved on in life and not just in death. We are mourning those who we've lost in the devastating shooting in Colorado Springs last night and our hearts go out to everyone impacted and those grieving today everyone we’ve lost this past year. This shooting is just another reminder of how our lives are constantly in a state of emergency and we are at risk everyday. We are so tired. QTIPOC folks are targeted just for living our lives and it is unacceptable. We demand and deserve better. Accomplices/allies must do more than just say you are on our side. We need sustainable material support — not just in moments of crisis. Supporting Black trans lives is a daily practice. Our community deals with state violence in many forms including poverty, hunger, homophobic and transphobic laws, inaccessibility to housing, education, and inclusive and affirming healthcare and more...and we are so tired of losing more and more of our beloved community to deaths that are preventable.

We've got two more trainings coming up for y'all this month!

Happy Trans Awareness Week!! We have a special announcement: this year our annual March for Black Trans Life and Liberation will be November 27th from 4-6pm (location TBD). Every year, we host this action to celebrate Black trans people and honor how our collective liberation is inextricable from the liberation of Black trans people everywhere. We march for the lives we’ve lost and continue to hold sacred the people who are still with us. Join us as we call for the liberation of our beloved siblings !! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 ASL interpreters will be provided.

“There’s more to this than us. We are loved. We are cared for. No matter what anyone else says.”
