We're grateful for the coverage of our blessing at Orange County's Largest Vote Center at the Honda Center today. . . . Rev. Jason Cook of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Fullerton said he already knows what he and his congregation will do: We will show up physically, if there is unrest. We will be there as quickly as we can be, simply to offer people calming in the turmoil.... Will such calls for unity and peace bear success? Brie Loskota, Executive Director for the Center for Religion and Civic Culture at the University of Southern California (USC), said our society is thirsty for more leadership, looking for people to exemplify our values, and when any group steps in it has an impact.

This was an excellent de-escalation training for our faith community! Hosted by Bend the Arc Jewish Action, it features guidance from Rabbi Sharon Brous from IKAR in Los Angeles! https://youtu.be/Kd8SnAM-XuU

Hello, everyone! Just wanted to share this opportunity with you all: The Count Every Vote Faith Network is excited to offer two crucial trainings for clergy and people of faith as we prepare for election season, an unprecedented period between Election Day and Inauguration Day: Nonviolent Civil Action for People of Faith: Thursday, October 22nd, 7-8pm ET... Please join us for a conversation with the Rev. Traci Blackmon, Graie Hagans, BlackOUT Collective, and the ACLU about the role of the faith community during election week to help safeguard our democracy. We will go over what it takes to engage in direct action safely -- including de-escalation, digital security, your rights as a protester, and more. Co-hosted by Count Every Vote, Bend The Arc, and Faith in Public Life. Media and Messaging Training for Faith Leaders Tuesday, October 27th, from 2-3 PM ET We are in the midst of the most crucial election season of our lives, and the work of defending our democracy will not end on November 3rd. Your community and congregation will need clear guidance and reassurance -- especially if results are delayed and misinformation spreads. Join us for an important Media and Messaging Training that will prepare you to communicate about the importance of ensuring that every vote is counted and all voters are protected. Co-hosted by Count Every Vote, Bend The Arc, and Faith in Public Life. http://fpl.actionkit.com//Count-Every-Vote-Training-Series/
