Mind the Vote (MB1G20)
Matthew Brensilver, PhD
September 23, 2020
Description:
Among the most important practices on the Buddhist path is wise speech. And one of the most important ways we speak in the United States is to vote – and encourage others to vote too.
Spirit Rock has partnered with the non-partisan voting rights organization, When We All Vote, to support everyone in our community to speak their truth by voting.
Spirit Rock is committed to supporting thousands of people within our network to register to vote and many more to become ambassadors within their communities, mobilizing people in their network to participate in this election.
Please join Spirit Rock teacher and “Voting Squad Captain” Matthew Brensilver, for this evening of reflection and mobilization. We’ll meditate together, reflect on the power of our voices, confirm our voter registrations, share voting resources, and make a plan to mobilize those in our networks. This is how we will speak. Please join us.
