Soulforce, an organization committed to ending religious and political oppression against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender individuals has announced the following event:

The Right to Serve campaign to lift the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” ban to allow all people, regardless of sexual orientation, the right to serve openly and proudly in our nation’s armed forces will begin in Richmond, VA on the morning of Wednesday, October 11th. There will be a training beginning around 9am at the Willow Lawn Recruitment Center (in the Shops at Willow Lawn, beside the Barksdale Theatre).

Richmond is one of 30 cities across the nation to participate in the Right to Serve campaign where openly gay, lesbian, and bisexual young adults will attempt to enlist. Upon denial we will begin a nonviolent sit-in campaign to demonstrate our commitment to the cause. The Richmond action will be conducted on Wednesday morning, October 11th. All people regardless of sexual orientation or age are welcome to join us.
