What Happens Wednesday? Preparing Ourselves for the Work Ahead

Whoever wins the presidential election, whether or not the result is contested, we know there will be much work to be done. How do we prepare when we don’t know what is coming? We will explore the different possibilities and ground ourselves in what we do know – about what it will take to create a more just, sustainable, and loving world, as well as Quaker practices that keep us grounded and listening to Spirit for the times ahead.
