The Empowering Spirits Foundation, Inc. (ESF) is a national nonprofit civil rights organization working to achieve lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) equality through community service activities. Instead of attempting to change laws ESF strives to change the hearts and minds of individuals and institutions that may have not previously favored gay rights or supported LGBT populations, through events designed to allow both sides to work together in a positive environment to foster non-confrontational dialogue and dispel negative stereotypes.

Very Positive, Motivational!

Great job guys at last weekend’s event. What a positive way to influence others in our fight for equality! While other organizations remain divisive, you continue to push the envelope to promote ways to cultivate communication with the “other side.” I know everyone won’t come around; but as A. Latham Staples said, “we have the chance through positive means to change the minds of those who don’t have enough information.” We had so much fun, and I know we’ll be at future events!

Over the past few years Ive participated in a few marches, rallies, and political activities regarding the LGBT community. However, until today Ive never felt more proud of our community or any gay and lesbian organization working for us. The Empowering Spirits Foundations event today was awesome. It was such a joy to do community service with others, and at the same time engage in conversations regarding gay and lesbian issues with members of society who obviously just didnt know much about us. I was amazed at how many people opened up, asked more questions than I ever imagined, and seemed to come to a better understanding of the LGBT community. Im glad I got to meet A. Latham Staples as well. What a nice young man and how great to see someone who is so passionate about equal rights and someone who strives to give back to the community. I highly recommend any one getting involved in ESFs events. You wont be disappointed.

I was introduced to Latham Staples and was overcome by his passion to not only bring equality to America, but his desire to help others. I have attended a few Empowering Spirits Foundation events and am amazed at the positive message this sends to the community that those who are LGBT are just like everyone else; and that we do truly care about making this world a better place for all. The Empowering Spirits Foundation is truly unique in that not only are you furthering the cause for equality, but you are making a difference for those that need assistance.
