Soulforce: Time to take it to the streets!
By Jeff Lutes

(quotes from the article)

"It’s time for all of us to rise up like thousands are doing now in the Golden State and elsewhere."

"We are tired of defeat, token change, defending ourselves against charges of moral inferiority, and being told to 'wait' in the land we love while liberation occurs in other countries."

"Don’t wait on an LGBT rights group to take the lead. Most of the protests in California were organized by just a handful of people. You can do it too."

"Let’s take it to the streets."

I'm really glad Jeff Lutes said this. This is exactly the kind of thing we need to hear from our leaders.

Thanks Jeff.

There have been responses to Jeff's great article on the 356.com News website. Here's couple of examples:

"One of the most thoughtful articles in a long time. Thank you".

"Jeff…thanks for the post! I needed to hear this once again this morning. I have been reading about a national protest for this weekend, and I am so excited! I am in Nashville, and have my walking shoes at the ready."

I think one of the tests of an effective leader is how they react in a time of crisis. Within days of the defeats of November 4th, Jeff came forward and spoke to the national LGBT community of how we should react.

This is another example of how Soulforce is on the front lines of equality.
