Calling Bear colleagues:
ILGCN's (international rainbow cultural network) newly-established Bears International aims at promoting Bear culture and international solidarity.
BI has no membership fee , does not compete with the important social events of local and national Bear organizations, and welcomes all interested -- especially Ursula and other women Bears, Trans Bears, Bear immigrants and refugees, the differently abled and HIV positives. (misogamists, transphobes, racists and intolerants are NOT welcome!)
BI aims at following the Bears-on-Ice, Reykjavik initiative to become involved beyond the Bear borders (with their major financial contribution to HIV work on Iceland) BI plans on promoting fund-raising to help LGBT refugees fleeing from persecution, violence, imprisonment and murder threats.
Bears International is located at the ILGCN Information Secretariat in Stockholm via our webmaster in Canada: www.ilgcn.tupilak.org
