Bring your signs and messages to VOTE EARLY!! And invite
your friends & family! Let's get the message out that YOUR VOTE HAS POWER!!
We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.
For more than a year, millions of people have come together
to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians
who believe they are above the people and the law.
Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into
voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not
purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter
participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to
vote early and ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how
to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.
No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are
designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.
A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
