Read In for the Ali Forney Center

A night of reading and community at Hive Mind Books & Coffee Shop in support of the Ali Forney Center, which provides housing and services for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness. Local readers and writers share work while the room fills with people who care about both literature and taking action—all proceeds go directly to the organization. It's the kind of event that reminds you why independent bookstores matter: they're spaces where queer stories get told, community gets built, and real support happens.
