Repent Campaign We are continuing the Repent Campaign this December by asking you, our members, to participate in dialogue with Fundamentalist thought leaders. First, we need you to vote on the Fundamentalists you think most deserve our attention right now in this political moment. We have a range of people, from anti-choice activists to those supporting racist interventions in the politics of other countries. We have worked with, challenged, and shown up for dialogue with many on the list.Second, we need you to submit your story. The 12 winners of the vote will receive a parcel including your stories and Soulforce resources this December. As they take stock of this year, we want them to remember the voices of LGBTQ people in all our complex identities and visions of justice. And third, we need you to donate this holiday season. End of year giving is a tradition for many, and we hope that you will consider how we use the power of personal story, the bravery of Soulforce and our allies to address Fundamentalists, and the need for continuing education and outreach. |
Thanks for Voting!We asked you to name who among Fundamentalists you think are most powerful and important to work with. Here are the results in order of number of votes:

Why Religion?
We recognize that oppression is most often rooted in religious belief and ideologies of power in which women, people of color and non-gender conforming (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer) people are subjugated and subjected to the violence of exclusion. You will find us most often in dialogue with religious leaders, denominations and institutions who discriminate in polity, policy or practice. We are committed to decriminalization of sexual minorities by all church and state sanctioned organizations worldwide.
