Join Sen. Cory Booker, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Fania Davis, Thanissara, Konda Mason, Tara Brach, Reggie Hubbard, Jack Kornfield, Maurice Mitchell, Jane Hirshfield, and other special guests for a gathering of visionary and inspiring talks, reflections, and music to raise funds for pro-democracy action in key swing states.

Watch parties welcomed! Invite your friends to watch together, and commit — together — to the ways you will align your spiritual practice with civic engagement ahead of the 2024 election, and beyond.

The stakes could not be higher for the 2024 presidential election. Together, let’s leverage compassionate activism for a pro-democracy outcome in November and beyond.

ABOUT: Mind Our Democracy

https://www.mindourdemocracy.com/

Mind Our Democracy is a response to the critical threat to our democracy. It was initiated by meditation teachers Konda Mason, Tara Brach, and Thanissara, during the summer of 2022. It began with a text ping, a timely spark, in the wake of ominous decisions by the Supreme Court to roll back hard-won rights and vital environmental protections.

Within a few months and fortified by an innovative team, renowned meditation, yoga, and mindfulness teachers were invited to send their heartfelt messages for the midterm elections. The speedy responses made it clear that everyone felt the need for this call to action, recognizing that voting in the November midterm election is critical to our collective well-being and a natural extension of contemplative practice.

With our immense challenges, we need spiritually-based movements of activists with a clear vision to protect democracy and our exquisite planet. Mind Our Democracy is evolving as a collaborative community to continue building momentum to support this focus.
