Coming Up
Reach Out
If you feel silenced, marginalized, or oppressed in your religious, academic, work, or civil environment, please reach out to Soulforce NYC. We exist to counter anti-gay and anti-trans forces in the city fueled by religious misunderstanding and rhetoric and we want to help; by meeting with you, by preparing you to address the injustice, by getting your story out, by standing with you, or even just by listening.
All communication is sensitive and private.

We will be meeting in early January though! In the meantime, stay connected and interactive through our brand-new blog.
Witness At St. Patrick’s Cathedral
December 10 -- 1:30 PM -- Fifth Avenue & 51st Street
The Vatican is opposing a measure introduced to the UN by France and supported by all member nations urging countries to abolish laws which criminalize being gay.
Join us as we work with DignityNY & DignityUSA to stand witness on behalf of this critical human rights issue. Importantly, we stand with those around the world living under laws that threaten their life and livelihood.
Many Dignity chapters around the country, including Boston, Chicago, and Washington, D.C., joined by our supporters from Call to Action, New Ways Ministry, and other groups, will be holding actions on this day to call attention to the Vatican’s dangerous and misguided position.
If you would like to attend, contact Jef Stone ( / 646-418-7039) ASAP.

Early December Meeting!
December 9 -- 6:30 PM -- LGBT CENTER 208 W. 13th Street
Based on feedback at our last meeting, we’re having a meeting more often than once a month. At this meeting, we’re going to announce the 2009 segment of the Right to Marry campaign and use it as a model to develop another campaign for early ‘09. Do you want to organize for LGBT equality? There will be an oppurtunity after the meeting to sign-up for specific projects including outreach, development, web/technology, and organizing.
