Election Day: Walking Together

Election Day can be a lot. There are decisions that matter. Hopes and fears. Constant news. Maps and numbers. Winners and losers. And sometimes a whole lot of anxiety about what happens next. So before we spend the evening watching results come in, we’re going to do something very simple: Take a sacred walk together. Join BETWEEN Colorado for a slow, spiritual, reflective Election Day walk around Colorado’s Capitol and Civic Center. We’ll walk for about an hour, stopping a few times for silence, reflection, conversation, and prayer. This is not a rally, protest, campaign event, political debate, or election watch party. We won’t ask how you voted. Nobody will be asked to defend their politics. And the purpose isn’t to pretend our differences don’t matter. Instead, we’ll practice something that can become especially difficult on days like this: Remembering one another. We’ll make room for whatever you’re carrying about our country and community. We’ll reflect on the kind of neighbors we want to be. We’ll have a few meaningful conversations with actual human beings rather than staring at maps and screens. And we’ll remind ourselves that when Election Day is over, we still have to live together. People of every faith, no faith, and every political identity are welcome. The only expectation is that we treat one another with curiosity, dignity, and care. We will pray (in a very inclusive way that allows you to connect with your understanding of the divine in whatever way makes sense to you). We will talk about spirituality and beliefs and how they intersect with the way we organize our society and care for each other collectively. Most importantly, we'll share sacred human connection together. Because no matter who wins any election, our world will only be healed one sacred conversation at a time. MEETING PLACE: We'll gather at noon at the Colorado Veterans Monument in Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park, directly west of the Colorado State…
