Move. Rest. Vote! - Ballot Party

  • Leaven Community 5431 NE 20th Ave Portland, OR 97211 United States (map)

Ballots don't have to be boring!

Discuss local issues and candidates, fill out our ballots in community, and support our bodies/minds/hearts before Election Day.

As we fill out our ballots, we will take breaks for snacks, dance, and movement. Information about Portland’s new ranked-choice and district-based voting system will be available. Participants are invited to engage in discussion, but our ballots remain private.

Once our ballots are complete, we will close with a somatic rest practice to celebrate and ground in community as we care for ourselves and prepare for the final weeks of election season.

Please bring:

  • Snacks or a dish to share

  • Your ballot + Voter’s pamphlet

  • Yoga mat + pillow + blanket (optional)

  • Optional sliding scale donation $5-20

This session is led by Leaven member and certified mindbody coach Stacy Carleton.
