Friend,
It’s finally Election Day. It’s the culmination of months of work
from voters, organizers, election protectors, and people like you.
Let’s take a deep breath — we made it here, together.
An
important reminder: This evening, some results will be announced
quickly, but others may take days or weeks. And we do not expect to
know the winner of the presidential race tonight.
That’s
why we’re hosting a movement-wide call this Sunday, November 10, with
our partners at Kirva.

Together, we’ll process this pivotal moment and gather strength for
the work ahead, with insights and guidance from community leaders,
experts, and clergy.
We’ll discuss what the election results
mean, share concrete steps we can take as Jews in the coming weeks and
months, and encounter Jewish wisdom and practices that can help us
build resilience for navigating these turbulent times.
I
hope you can join us this Sunday on Zoom for What Now? Power and
Resilience After the 2024 Election.

PS: Here are some words about hope from the poet Aurora
Levins Morales —
Imagine winning. This is your sacred
task.
This is your power. Imagine
every detail of winning …
When you inhale and when you
exhale
breathe the possibility of another world
into the 37.2
trillion cells of your body
until it shines with hope.
Then
imagine more …
Don’t waver. Don’t let despair sink its
sharp teeth
Into the throat with which you sing. Escalate your
dreams.
Make them burn so fiercely that you can follow them
down
any dark alleyway of history and not lose your way.
Make
them burn clear as a starry drinking gourd
Over the grim fog of
exhaustion, and keep walking.
Hold hands. Share water. Keep
imagining.
So that we, and the children of our children’s
children
may live
