  • The Equality Ride is an annual civil rights bus journey across the United States led by young adults. It primarily fosters dialogue -- or, failing that, confronts colleges and universities that it believes discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. As a part of the faith-based organization Soulforce, the activism focuses on religious colleges, while occasionally including military academies and secular universities. Prior to visiting any campus, the Equality Ride contacts the college about their impending visit; however, they do not give the colleges a choice. The Equality Ride comes on the promised date, wanted or not. In the interests of creating dialogue, a majority of colleges work with the Equality Ride to create a productive day of presentations and dialogue with students. Campuses that do not choose this route get protested by the Riders and the community, often with former students coming forward to the media.
