"Since 2006, young LGBT and allied activists engaged in Soulforce Equality Rides have visited 52 colleges and universities with histories and policies of silencing or excluding queer students. The young riders, many of whom come from religious and faith backgrounds, have brought Soulforce's unique style - combining what the group calls a "dynamic 'take it to the streets'" activism with the uncompromising non-violence principles championed by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. - to challenge religion-based and other homophobia, in schools ranging from Bob Jones University in South Carolina to the US Military Academy in upstate West Point."
