Build Out Alliance is launching a book club! It's very first, inaugural meeting, we're excited to bring together the readers amongst us to discuss relevant books capturing LGBTQ+ people, topics, and stories. Our first book, "My Government Means to Kill Me" written by Rasheed Newson, is a fierce and riveting queer coming-of-age story that follows the personal and political awakening of a young, gay, Black man in 1980s New York City. Be sure to grab your copy and join us on March 14 at the LGBT Center to discuss!

Register to Join

Our March 2023 book club will meet at the LGBT Center on 13th Street in Manhattan. A nominal registration fee of $10 will be used to rent the space and to provide small snacks during the meeting.

About Book Club

The Build Out Alliance book club brings members of our community together, from avid reader to short story dabbler, around many LGBTQ+ voices captured by the written word. The book club will meet on the second Tuesday of each month, with some meetings being in-person and others taking place virtually. At each meeting, we'll devote some time to networking and follow with a robust discussion of that month's book, finishing with an announcement of the next month's book.
