Right to Serve Campaign: Conway, Arkansas

January 1, 1998 by soulforce

Conway, Arkansas

Right to Serve Campaign: Conway, Arkansas

In 30 cities across the country this fall, openly gay young adults will attempt to enlist in the armed forces. Never before in the 13 years of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ have openly gay youth publicly challenged the policy by attempting to sign up for the service. When their right to serve is denied, young adults — both gay and straight — from across the Conway area will begin a sit-in.

Amanda Harris and Ashley Vickers are leading this campaign in Conway to show the American people how this law is government-sanctioned discrimination.


UPCOMING EVENT:

WHAT: Sign Making Day ***Free Pizza***
WHEN: Sun, Sept. 24th, Noon-5pm
WHERE: Hulen Ballroom, Hendrix Campus

*Bring supplies: cardboard, paint, brushes, markers, scissors, Wooden Posts (no sharp ends), staple guns, glue, sharpies, stencils, tape, etc.


Support the youth-led efforts to create an activist movement for LGBT rights.

Sign up to participate in the sit-in or make a donation to help cover the cost for this campaign in Conway, Arkansas.
