Give Up Inequality for Lent!

As many of us find ways to sacrifice for the upcoming weeks through Easter, California Faith for Equality would like to suggest we all give up the following for lent...and forever!

Give up Bullying- In February CFE’s Los Angeles Cluster presented in front on the Los Angeles Unified School District Board on bullying of LGBTQ youth and adults. We were recognized as a community partner of the district’s Department of Human Relations. http://cafaithforequality.org/2011/03/los-angeles-cluster-at-lausd/

Give up DOMA- On Wednesday CFE stood with Congressional Representatives at a press conference to repeal DOMA. CFE was recognized as one of the nation’s leading LGBT advocacy organizations.http://polis.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=229587

Give up Inequality- Last weekend the Human Rights Campaign honored CFE Board Member Rabbi Denise Eger and CFE Sponsoring Committee Board Member Reverend Susan Russell with the Community Equality Award. Rabbi Eger and Reverend Russell are true champions of the LGBT community and we are proud to have them as part of the CFE family.
