Reading is Resistance: Book Club & Community Picnic

Reading is Resistance: A TQNC Book Club & Community Hang
In times like these, stories are our refuge, our resistance, and our roadmap to a better future. Join facilitator Kimberly Rhoten for Reading is Resistance, a monthly book club and community gathering designed to nourish, inspire, and empower our LGBTQIA2S+ community.Each month, we’ll read books that challenge injustice, celebrate queer joy, and deepen our understanding of the world and each other. *PLEASE NOTE: You do NOT have to read the book to join. This isn’t just a book club—it’s a space for connection. Come for the books, stay for the conversation, and build relationships with fellow queer neighbors who believe in the power of literature as activism.
