Equality Riders Invite Community to Historic Events March 20-22 Events Will Culminate with Community Rally On Tuesday, March 20th, join the Equality Riders at the Metropolitan Community Church in Salt Lake City (823 South 600 East) for a presentation from the Riders. The presentation will begin at 7:00 pm. After the program, please join the Riders to hear about their experiences at other colleges on the West Bus route and to learn more about their plans for the visit to BYU. On Wednesday, March 21st, join the Equality Riders at UVSC for presentations in their Grand Ballroom. You can find the Grand Ballroom in the Student Center. The presentations will be running continuously from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This is an academic setting. As such, please respect an environment of academic inclusion and freedom of inquiry. The presentations are open to UVSC and BYU students. Please come and bring your friends. On Wednesday, March 21st, join the Equality Riders and LDS Family Fellowship for a Panel Presentation at the Provo City Library (550 N University Ave.). This is an opportunity to hear from the LGBT community at BYU, including current students, about their experiences with the BYU campus environment. Please feel free to bring friends and family. The presentation will begin at 7PM. On Thursday, March 22nd, join the Equality Riders and members of the Utah communities for a peaceful walk around BYU's campus. Like the Walls of Jericho in ancient times, BYU has walls that need to come down. We affirm that attitudes and actions motivated by fear, oppression, and misunderstanding towards Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people have no place at BYU or any other institution of higher learning. Come and join us—wearing RED clothing—to peacefully walk in solidarity as a testament to the LGBT students on campus that we are not sick and sinful, but loved and accepted children of a masterful, intentional Creator. The walk will begin at 10 AM and continue until 4 PM. Dress appropriately. Bring water, and good walking shoes. Feel free take a break, for food or to rest your weary legs. You will be able to reenter the walk at any time. When you arrive at BYU, please look for the nearest Equality Rider to direct you to a Staging Area with training, the route, and other instructions. Please join us after the walk at 5 PM in Kiwanis Park (820 North 1100 East, Provo, UT) for a Community Rally. Help make BYU a safer place for LGBT people and a better place for all.
