Soulforce

Soulforce was established to achieve equality for all marginalized populations by challenging the Religious conservatives. This social movement is a nonofficial, non-violent movement that uses fasting and peaceful protests to get their message across. The main focus of Soulforce was originally to fight for LGBTQI equality, specifically equality in the eyes of the Christian right, but now has taken on much larger future goals. Since their founding more and more Christians have come to accept LGBTQI members and preachers so now Soulforce has begun to focus on all social justice issues, such as race. The movement began as a specific move for LGBTQI equality and has now grown to fight for other forms of equality as well. This movement uses words associated with revolution and violence in much of their literature in order to increase the power of their nonviolent actions. By only preaching nonviolence but using words that evoke a sense of revolution their nonviolent actions carry a more powerful message and meaning.
