BARBELLS NOT BANS
A Very Queer Deadlift Meet
Barbells Not Bans (BNB) is an annual deadlift fundraiser hosted by Richmond Strong. At BNB, ALL are invited to participate and challenge themselves in a welcoming, loving, and joyful environment. We proudly raise funds (and barbells) for Virginia-based non-profits advocating for LGBTQIA+ and reproductive justice.
