Topic:	The Challenges & Limitations of Bi Activism.
Summary: Week over week, our discussions at BiRequest tend to get more or less personal depending the topic, but also with what else is going on in our lives. So with the Creating Change conference just days away, Paul will be leading a discussion that is near and dear to his heart. Discussing the challenges and limitations of bi activism gets personal because everyone values activism differently.. some just like a good fight.. others shying away fom any possible conflict... still others feel it's just not worth fighting for. And if shared values are what form a community, how do we come to terms with the divergent value of bisexuality in our lives as well as the rainbow of views regarding the tactics, strategic aims, and value of activisim, which has this political undertow always tugging. Let's meet to discuss our personal opinions about activisim in general, and bi activism specifically. What's keeping you from getting in on the action? What fears or apprehensions keep us from joining the fray? And does activism always have to be confrontational? political? diversive? Doesn't bi activisim call for something we don't always associate with other kinds of protests and activism? Gather with friends old and new as we consider the challenges to building a movment with Bi-ness as the cornerstone.! Come relate your hopes and dreams for a fully bi world, or just hang out and listen to what others have to say in BiRequest's fabulously safe, non-judgmental environment. Join our famously supportive, BiRequest crowd for an engaging conversation. Share your vision and your resolve, your expectations and desires for the months ahead. Share your goals of years past and your special insights to making them become reality... or just hang out and listen to what others have to say. Open to all Bi and bi-friendly folks, of any age, race, gender, sexual or relational orientation. Ours is a tiny example of the rainbow; a safe space to share your perspective and insights into all things Bi. And if you can’t join us for the meeting, catch up with us for dinner, round 8:15-ish, at... Good Stuff Diner 109 West 14th Street (north side of 14th St, just west of 6th Ave) ~ a short walk from the Center PostScript regarding restaurants: If you would like to help expand our palette of dining options, suggestion are welcomed. We need a place that can accommodate 20+ people from 8:15pm for about an hour on a given Thursday - both in seating us, and relative speed for serving too. We also need the menu to have some vegetarian options, and to be fairly reasonable in cost.
