May 9 · 1pm · YWCA Manchester

We’re officially releasing the State of Queer NH during Reduce, Reuse, Upcycle.

This resource brings together queer and BIPOC organizations, businesses, artists, and spaces from across New Hampshire. It’s built to make it easier to find each other, stay connected, and strengthen our community.

Join us at 1pm to celebrate the release, grab a copy, and be part of what we’re building.

RSVP at queerlective.com/upcycle or link in bio.

If you want to be part of what we’re building, come through this month.
