soulforce equality house
Five Soulforce Equality Riders announced they are starting an Equality House in OKC. The House will operate on the non-violent principles of Gandhi and MLK, Jr. and will house 5-8 youth activists who will each work on a different lgbt project.Projects will include:
visits to Oral Roberts University and other religious schools which ban the enrollment of lgbt students
bringing same-sex couples who are in committed relationships and wish to be married to city halls across Oklahoma
addressing discrimination in the workplace, housing, and in public schools
The youth will also participate in some larger Soulforce actions such as the military recruitment office sit -ins this summer. Committed to maintaining a positive image for the lgbt community and to uniting lgbt brothers, sisters and allies, they look forward to the community involvement.
