In 2006 the first-ever Equality Ride took place, a two-month bus trip across the country to 19 colleges that actively discriminate against openly LGBT students. Thirty-three young adults made this journey. It was Soulforce’s first foray into a future of creating opportunities for youth activism.
We feel that sustained, coordinated, nationwide activism is an essential component within the LGBT rights movement. Young adults are particularly qualified for that missing element of direct activism, where the goal is to change hearts and minds through personalizing efforts for equality.
Soulforce Q, the young adult division of Soulforce is the embodiment of that vision.
