We believe that by harnessing the collective power of generosity and compassion, experience and expertise, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of bi+ people.
Our primary goal is to provide a space that connects passionate bi+ activist individuals, groups and organizations, and foster the birth of a strong umbrella bi+ entity.
