Elvert Xavier Barnes Photography***********Three days before her appearance at Saturday's 29 April 2006 Youth Pride Festival in Washington DC www.youthpridedc.org/youthprideday/, Haven Herrin was amongst twenty-one demonstrators arrested during an Equality Ride action on Wednesday, 26 April 2006 at U.S. Military Academy at West Point Highland Falls NY.Military police arrested fifteen Equality Riders and 6 community members as they attempted to step onto the United States Military Academy at West Point to speak as citizens and taxpayers opposed to the military's 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' policy. The policy prevents openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people from serving in the military or attending West Point."We are here as LGBT people to pose one important question to the future military leaders that attend West Point," said Haven Herrin, Equality Ride co-director. "The question is, 'Would you serve with me?' If the answer is 'yes,' then we need to tell Congress that military members are open to LGBT people serving with them. If the answer is 'no,' then we need to sit down and have a conversation with cadets that is 13 years overdue."See Soulforce Press Release dated 26 April 2006 at www.equalityride.com/article.php?article_id=248.Contact Info:Haven Herrin(469) 867 5725haven@equalityride.comSoulforce at www.soulforce.org**********Soulforce Equality Ride Finishes Journey, Featured on Cover of May 9th issue of The Advocate.
