    Introducing Bright IDEA – Join Our New Inclusion, Diversity, Equitability, and Acceptance Team!

    We’re thrilled to announce the creation of Bright IDEA, our brand-new department dedicated to promoting diversity, inclusion, and equity within the event. Bright IDEA will act as a welcome wagon for people of color and the trans and non-binary community, hosting events like a POC brunch and “The Cookout” (Black Burner meetup). This team will be a key part of fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and safe environment for everyone, especially those who are new to the event and seeking a welcoming space.

    Ideally, the leads for Bright IDEA will include both a person of color and a trans person, each bringing valuable perspectives to the table by navigating the world through these identities, ensuring the department is shaped by the lived experiences of people from marginalized racial and gender communities. We’re not just looking for leads—we also need passionate individuals who want to help this department grow and thrive.

    If you believe in creating a more inclusive community and want to help us build something meaningful, we’d love for you to join Bright IDEA! For more information, please contact us at interfuseecs@midwestburners.org.

    We’re excited to announce the launch of the Interfuse Media and Propaganda (IMP) department! This brand-new team brings together the Infobot, website, and social media channels, while also addressing the growing need for event photography.
