vote for liberation: prep for primaries, learn your ballot.

Service Description

Our practice doesn’t end when we roll up our mats. At Kalamazoo Backyard Yogis, we believe our values matter beyond the studio. They matter in how we care for one another, how we participate in our communities, and how we use our voices. So let’s get together before the primary. We’ll walk through the ballot, talk about the candidates and proposals, share resources, ask questions, and help each other feel a little more prepared before we vote. This gathering is rooted in our belief that public resources should be used to care for people. We believe everyone deserves access to food, housing, healthcare, education, and dignity. We long for a world where people are free from the grip of war and violence, where our communities invest in care instead of harm, and where people and the planet are cared for—not exploited. We believe another world is possible, and participating in our democracy is one way we help build it. Whether you’ve never voted before or you’ve been doing it for years, you’re welcome. Bring your questions, your curiosity, and maybe a friend. We’ll figure it out together. Can’t make it to the studio? We’ll have a Zoom option so you can join us from anywhere. But if you can come in person, we think it’s a little more fun to learn together. Wear your pajamas if you want, bring your favorite snacks, and don’t forget a phone, tablet, or laptop that can connect to Wi-Fi so you can follow along and explore your ballot.
