May 11th Organization Update

Hello to all! Long time without posting.. The founders here have all been way too busy with exam season in full swing. But, we are back on track! This past Friday Rock Hill for Equality was blessed with being able to attend the Spring Forward York County Democratic Party Fundraiser. We met plenty of fine members and even aspiring congressmen such as Tom Adams running in SC 5th district. In other news we have postponed our plans to host an event May 18th, and hope to host a cookout in mid June. The date will be decided soon, but the intentions of this cookout are to gather our members in a meet and greet session where we can formally introduce ourselves and discuss our aim. We have also been traveling around York County and the upstate area meeting with other non-profit organizations inquiring ways that we can benefit our community. If you are still interested in getting involved contact us, and keep the fight up!

Quote of The Week:

April 28th Organization Update

Hello all!
Rock Hill for Equality’s first week of existence was a great one.
We met with leaders of the York County Democratic Party, talked with the owners of some local businesses, and further planned what we wish to do in the near future. Also we will be busy over the next few weeks as we meet with the organizers of non-profit organizations around the Rock Hill area.
We would like to announce we are beginning a video series that will be posted both on our Facebook page and our twitter account. These videos are from YouTube and will cover topics from gay marriage, understanding human sexuality and support for coming out. We hope to have the series post on the website soon. Videos will be posted on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday for the next two weeks.

Again, thank you for the early support. As of noon today we had 385 likes on Facebook which has far exceeded our expectations.

Quote of the Week
“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than it’s opposite.”
– Nelson Mandela (1918-2013)

April 25th Organization Updates

T-shirt and Bumper sticker designs have been produced and released on our social media outlets as of today! The logistics are still being worked out, but we will know shortly the price and availability of these items to the public. Rock Hill for Equality will also be making its way across the upstate of South Carolina this Saturday, meeting with other non-profit organizations in an attempt to get involved in bettering the Rock Hill community. If a business or organization is interested in getting involved, or meeting with us please visit our How to get involved page for contact information. The team here at Rock Hill for Equality is also very interested in hosting an event the weekend of May 17-18. We will let you all know more about the possibility of an event later next week but keep those calenders on hold!

Quote of the day:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

Exciting day for Rock Hill For Equality

Today, we at Rock Hill for Equality launched this website right here for the convenience of our followers and supporters! But that is not the only buzz going on about our group today, because as of this morning Rock Hill for Equality launched its brand new organization logo! Rock Hill for Equality is also happy to announce the support it has received from political candidates in the Carolinas. George Battle a progressive candidate for congress in NC 12th district showed his compassion for this cause and supported our social media movement. We’ll have more exciting news to come; as of tomorrow we are expecting to release the designs to T-shirts, signs and bumper stickers that will be on sale, as well as announcing our first organized event!
