Seattle Bi+ Pride & Float 2018
Donation protected
About Our Campaign:
We've been marching every year in Pride and we're finally ready to take it to the next level with our first ever float! As the only bi/pan+ contingent in Seattle Pride, we want to give our community something they can identify with so we can all feel that the 'B' still has a place in LGBTQ+!
We first need funds to cover PrideFest, and a reserve for Parade registration in case we are unable to have a sponsor this year and have to pay the fees in full. If we get enough donations over and above that, we'll use them to secure a vehicle, platform, & decorations!
Additional funds will go towards this year's Bi Visibility event in September, website hosting fees, and upfront costs for creating flyers, flags, t-shirts, & buttons.
Why Visibility Matters:
The Seattle Bisexual Women's Network, and our invited partners BiNet Seattle, have been the only bi+ contingent in the Seattle Pride Parade for several years.
Bi, pan, and all nonmonosexuals face invisibility, isolation and invalidation by those who deny our very existence, in both the straight and even gay communities. This is likely one of the reasons that bisexuals have an alarming rate of depression, suicide and experience the highest rates of sexual violence as compared to most monosexuals.
Please help Seattle Bisexual Networks continue be a positive, visible force in the LGBTQ+ community.
About Our Group:
The Seattle Bisexual Women's Network is a group of bisexual women & genderqueer folk working to create a peer support network focused on issues unique to the bi+ community. We hold monthly peer-facilitated discussion & support meetings as well as regular social & activist events.
