Who
We're not reinventing. We are regrouping and recharging.
The Bi+ community held three important convenings with the White House during the Obama Administration (2013, 2015, and 2016). Then.....Trump. During those four years, the Bi+ community experienced changes that resulted in less organizing between groups across the country. We are now regrouping to focus our attention on building connections between Bi+ individuals and organizations to reignite our policy work in Washington, DC.
In July 2022, a small group of US Bi+ advocates and experts banded together to engage with the White House during Bisexual Awareness Week and Celebrate Bisexuality Day. From that initiative, this website was created to be a central hub for Bi+ organizing in the United States. We recognize that there are many Bi+ advocacy organizations across our country, and by no means do we desire to re-create those wheels. However, we wish to create this space to communicate effectively at a national level with all Bi+ Leaders who are interested in collaboration for the greater good of the Bi+ community in the United States.
See below for Bi+ Organizations and Allies who are contributing to this work. And if you don’t see your organization, please reach out to us to be added.
