San Francisco Bay Area Ace Meetups

Update: We'll be reading and discussing chapter 5 of “Refusing Compulsory Sexuality” by Sherronda Brown, please nominate one in the book club channel!

Asexuals and allies from the greater San Francisco Bay Area and all asexual and interested bookworms anywhere are invited to join us! We're a monthly online open book club for reading some of the awesome books with asexuality, asexual characters, asexual-spectrum characters, etc. that have been coming out in the last few years.

Each month we will select a book and discuss it the next month, on the 3rd Friday. We'll be meeting in a voice channel of our meetup group's discord. The link is the event location, please ask if you need a fresh one. You're welcome to join in on any month.

Drop-in social meetups usually occur around the third Sunday of the month from 1-3 pm and rotate between San Francisco, South Bay, and East Bay. Aces and allies are all welcome to attend, for good conversation, snacks, and occasional games.

Masks are optional since this is an outdoor event. It may be chilly, however, so dress warmly and check the weather report.

We will be meeting at the west crescent lawn, on the westernmost edge of campus and just a block from downtown Berkeley BART station. Seating will be picnic blanket style - consider bringing your own blanket/towel/camp chairs as desired.

There is no food for sale on site, but there are several cafes and restaurants nearby if you'd like to grab something on your way in.
