Dear Opening Heart Friends,

In this pivotal election year, our Engaged Mindfulness Group and the Chesapeake Earth Holder Community invite you to join us as we continue Thay’s energy of Engaged Buddhism by participating in a simple, shared action known as Get Out the Vote in which we are collaborating with the Environmental Voter Project.

Here are the details:
Date: Saturday May 18, 2024
Time: 2-4 pm
Location: Circle Yoga, 3838 Northampton Street, Washington DC 20015

Room: Studio 2

This is a drop-in event, so come for 20 minutes or the full 2 hours.

The Environmental Voter Project is a non-partisan organization. They provide the postcards and the messaging which focuses on individuals who self-identify as concerned about the environment but are low-propensity voters. All we need is a pen and a willingness to support Mother Earth in this way.

When, as practitioners, we participate in Get Out the Vote efforts, we can offer Thay’s deep understanding to others, both with the words we express and the energy we bring to each postcard, letter, or other action. This is a true practice that has the power to increase voter turnout among the environmentally concerned by 1 to 2 percent. Though seemingly small, such a margin can tip the balance in favor of Mother Earth.

If you would like to participate please respond by May 12 so we can make arrangements accordingly.

With a deep bow of gratitude,
