Passing this on.. Thanks!

Hey Boi's and Gurl's, Cats and Kittens, and those in between. Donne Here:
Sending love to ALL my BPOC Family out there, both here and abroad.. Hope everyone is happy, healthy, and above all things: "FABULOUS & AMAZING!"
Ok, here's the deal.. I'm claiming the year 2024 as the year of Bi-EDUCATE!
The reason for this: There is STILL stigma going around when it comes to bisexuality, especially when it concerns People of Color (Black, African American, Latino/a, API, etc.) Isolation, depression, health issues, etc. still on the rise, as well as the negative portrayal of bisexuality in the media, preventing Bi folks from living, loving, and being their TRUE selves!
So here goes, I am looking for Out and Proud Bi Volunteers (Black, African American, Latino, Asian MEN) in the USA to participate on a panel, along with two other women, to discuss/address on what bisexuality means to you, Q&A
There will be several Tea Time Podcast on this topic. The first will be a mixture of Both Men and Women, and the second will be for Women ONLY!
If interested in participating, Give Us a Call: 646-578-9004, or 347-204-5049

[NYC USA - In Person & Zoom]: This coming Shabbat, Congregation Beit Simchat Torah - CBST are honored to be welcoming Souli and Iris from Combatants for Peace as our guest speakers.

This past weekend, we were deeply moved to read this New York Times profile of the Israelis and Palestinians who are part of this organization and dedicated to building a future together. An excerpt of the article is below; read the whole thing at bit.ly/48frqbf.
--
“We would talk about the most difficult things,” Mr. Qassas said, “but at least we stayed together and kept going.”

Both activists, despite the resistance they face, cling to hope that when the conflict finally ends, “we will be the infrastructure, the community upon which our joint life will be built,” Mr. Alon said.
“If I have sobered up,” he said, “it’s in knowing that violence won’t solve anything.”
