Every Vote is Sacred!



Greetings Friend --



On Friday, October 30th –⁠ the first day of early voting in Orange County –⁠ CLUE’s interfaith coalition of religious leaders and community members will meet at the Honda Center in Anaheim to offer prayers and blessings upon all who are voting at Orange County’s largest Vote Center. 



Clergy and lay leaders from local houses of worship will also conduct a nonviolence training, to prepare community leaders to peacefully defend democracy after the November 3rd general election.



Please RSVP for exact locations, Zoom links, and further details: bit.ly/EveryVoteIsSacred <[link removed]>



In light of the potential uncertainty that could unfold in the days and even weeks following Election Day, CLUE and our partners are banding together to ensure that we remain united. We are seeking to galvanize the broader public to support the core values of the democratic process and the right to peaceful freedom of expression. Our faith community aims to harness the sacred power of ritual to preserve the sanctity of democracy and of the vote, to offer a commitment to nonviolence as well as practical de-escalation tools to support the rights and safety of all public, and to provide expression of peoples’ hopes and fears for our democracy.
