NY Times op ed Take action to defend the election outcome: Protect the Results Prayer by Rabbi Susan Goldberg *Meeting controls for call-in attendees: To mute/unmute yourself: *6 To raise hand: *9 The Nov. 3, 2020 presidential election may be one of the most momentous in American history, taking place during a deadly pandemic with candidates whose visions for our country could not differ more starkly. Whatever the outcome this week, we need to brace ourselves for multiple challenges of voter fraud and voter suppression. We need to come together, express our fears and anxieties, and seek guidance. We need to understand the political, legal, and constitutional issues we are facing. And we need to organize, organize, organize for whatever might happen in the streets. ICUJP has invited an outstanding group of speakers to help us navigate these troubled waters. This Friday, Nov. 6, Rabbi Susan Goldberg and Eisha A. Mason will join us as we come together to debrief the week's events, process emotions, and look for ways to channel our energy and continue working for justice in the coming months. Rabbi Susan is the founding rabbi of Nefesh, a new, open-hearted spiritual community on LA's east side. A fourth-generation Angeleno, she comes from a family committed to justice and peace. She serves on the national board of Bend the Arc and is active with CLUE (Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice) and New Ground: A Muslim-Jewish partnership for Change. Eisha is a transformational counselor, spiritual teacher, community facilitator and activist. She focuses on healing collective trauma of racism and building Beloved Community as as she writes, teaches and facilitates in spiritual and social justice spaces. She formerly served as Associate Regional Director/West Region of the American Friends Service Committee.
