“Cast your vote, not on a partisan basis, not based on your biases, but vote your values. Vote the values of human dignity and equality. Vote the values of the rock on which this country was built. Vote.” -The Most Rev. Michael Curry

Parish Voting Resources
Parish Do’s and Don’ts
Bolder Advocacy has prepared a helpful Election Checklist for 501(c)(3) Public Charities. This resource can help you understand what your parish can and cannot do. Your church’s role should be educational and invitational – help people learn about elections, the importance of voting, and issues while inviting them to register to vote and to turn out for elections!

Addressing Political Violence
The current climate in the U.S., and indeed in many parts of the world, is experiencing a confluence of factors including instability, violent rhetoric, and heightened political tension as well as disinformation exacerbated by artificial intelligence. The Episcopal Church has compiled this list of resources to educate and equip ourselves to respond to and push back against political violence. We can prepare by being familiar with the threats of political violence, practicing de-escalation in tense moments, and having a response ready to share with your community if political violence continues. At their core, responses to escalating and tense situations leading up to this year’s election need to be guided by peace and truth. By educating ourselves on current issues and warning signs, we can better lead by pushing back against political violence.
Civil Discourse Training
Equip yourself for more constructive political conversations using Make Me an Instrument of Peace: A Guide to Civil Discourse, the From Many, One campaign, and more. Help bridge partisan divides, learn from others, and enlarge the sacred space for debate.
