<div><strong>Join us as we Elevate the Vote</strong></div>
<p><img src="https://gallery.mailchimp.com/45dc21dd63f26e42c9c7cd0c5/images/d045ba8b-59e4-407c-9f7c-02d928a2be3a.jpg" width="200" height="200" align="left" />Tomorrow, 11/8, Aryaloka sangha members will be participating in Elevate the Vote&#8217;s meditation flash mob. This is a nationwide synchronized event, taking place at polling places across the country. It is intended to bring inner and outer peace during the height of this emotionally fraught election season.</p>
<p><strong>Meet us outside Newmarket High School, 243 South Main Street just before 6 pm. </strong>At 6 pm we will join the synchronized meditation. If you can only join us for a portion of that time, no problem! Just enter and leave the meditation area quietly, and stay for however long you can.</p>
<p>Look for the Elevate the Vote signs and bring something to sit on. Because this is a non-partisan event we will not be displaying literature or signs supporting any particular candidate.</p>
<p>If you do not live close enough to Newmarket to join in with us tomorrow, check  <a href="http://wintercrowstudio.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=45dc21dd63f26e42c9c7cd0c5&amp;id=4298e3af75&amp;e=d4127cc9e1" target="_blank">Elevate the Vote&#8217;s website</a> for other locations.</p>
<p><strong>From Elevate the Vote&#8217;s website:</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>The US is a diverse nation with extreme differences.</strong> Our democracy is not perfect. And neither are we.</p>
<div>This mass meditation is an opportunity for us to come together and heal the divisiveness, showing the world and <strong>our children what is possible with inner peace, respect, and unity. </strong></div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Our collective action makes a statement. It can change everything.</strong></div>
<div>People will notice. Minds will change. Hearts will open. The world will be different.</div>
<div></div>
<div>We know it is only a matter of time before our political systems transform. Humanity is heading towards an enlightened society and every person, being, and system is <strong>transforming from the inside out. </strong></div>
<div></div>
<div>May this mass meditation be a step forward for all of us.  For all of humanity.&#8221;</div>
<div><strong>Sabbe Satta Sukhi Hontu &#8211; may all beings be well and happy</strong></div>
