The Mission of the Chicago Bisexual Health Task Force is to improve the lives of bisexual individuals in the Chicagoland area by mobilizing communities.
Our #BiHealthMonth event yesterday went so well! Thank you to all who were able to attend :). As promised, we're posting a publicly available link to the slides here: northwestern.box.com/s/l9ccf…
We've also downloaded the Zoom audio transcript from the event and are working on cleaning it. We also plan on uploading the video recording on YouTube. We will post a link to the audio and video ASAP once we have edited them to make them accessible as possible.
Happy #TransDayOfVisibility everyone! 🏳️‍⚧️✨
Things are very scary for all of us right now, but remember you are not alone. We’re all in this fight together 💖 #TDOV

We’re seeking self-nominations for 1 new co-chair & multiple new steering committee members. Please email brian.feinstein@northwestern.edu by 12/31/19 if you’re interested. The co-chair's term will be 2 years and the steering committee members' terms will be 1 year.
The co-chairs & the steering committee work together to keep our group on track and moving forward, oversee the planning of meetings, make final decisions (if necessary) after getting group input, etc.
Our goal is to center the voices & experiences of diverse bi individuals. We hope that bi members of the task force, especially POC & trans & gender diverse folks, will nominate themselves for these positions.
