Alliance for Equality
|
 Ponca City, OK-July 31, 2010 Leaders from Oklahoma City based Cimarron Alliance Foundation and Tulsa based Oklahomans for Equality met in Ponca City for the purpose of signing a Memorandum of Understanding that creates a statewide partnership. These two organizations are the state's oldest advocacy and education groups for Oklahoma's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. Combined, they have nearly a half- century of advocating for this population. It forms the framework for more cohesive program development, legislative work, and ultimately, serving as a powerful voice for LGBT
Oklahomans throughout the state. The organizations are not merging but capitalizing on each other's strengths and experience to serve more people than ever before. |

Spearheaded by athlete Danielle Girdano, Ride the Arc intends to publicize the need for equal rights for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender (GLBT) people, to raise awareness about the high GLBT suicide rate, and to promote places of welcome and refuge and affirming groups. Commencing in Minneapolis on Aug 9th and will end in Dallas on September 18, the eve of Dallas's GLBT Pride Weekend. The 1,300 mile distance requires Danielle's faith to guide and sustains her as she trains for Ride the Arc. Danielle will carry the message of love and inclusion every mile of her ride.
