WE ARE (STILL) NOT GOING ANYWHERE.
The Nonbinarian Book Bike, our beloved pink cargo tricycle that distributes free queer books of all genres to all ages, is gone.
On the morning of April 2, 2025, when Nonbinarian Bookstore proprietor K. Kerimian (they/them) arrived on-site to open for the day, they found the boxy, pink cargo bike missing from its usual spot.
Kerimian first declared, "We're not going anywhere" following the second vandalization of the bike. Regardless of the reasoning, there is no justification for this act against our symbol of pride and community solidarity. We use the Book Bike to distribute queer books of all genres for all ages across the borough, along with the message of queer joy and resistance.
“After Trans Day of Visibility,” Kerimian said, “This feels like a terrible joke."
Please help us say: WE ARE (STILL) NOT GOING ANYWHERE. Donate today to help us recover from this theft, including raising funds to purchase a replacement book bike; additional security measures for the store; create an emergency fund to weather additional targeting; and aid our mission of distributing free queer books and resources for all.
About The Nonbinarian
The Nonbinarian Bookstore is an exclusively queer bookstore and community space. It is an extension of the Nonbinarian Book Bike, which was formed in 2022 to provide access to and promote representation of queer stories for all ages, directly bringing LGBTQIA2S+ books to the folks that need them most.
The Nonbinarian collective strives to empower and affirm queer and trans people of all ages by offering accessible services, such as free resources, workshops, and events, as well as continuing the foundational work of the Book Bike's mobile book distribution.
