NO THRONES! NO CROWNS! NO KINGS! Rise Up Against Fascism

WE THE PEOPLE have had enough of lies, corruption, rising prices, cruelty and authoritarianism.

For over a year, millions of people have come together to send a clear message in protest: in America, we have no kings! Power does not belong to billionaires, strongmen, or politicians who believe they are above accountability.

Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest.

Instead, on October 17th, it’s also a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing the 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.

Power belongs to the people, but only if we use it. Join us on October 17 as we RECLAIM OUR POWER!

RISE UP FOR DEMOCRACY: Our Elections Are Under Attack

No Kings: Vote Early - Protests Against Authoritarianism & Actions to GOTV

"Authoritarianism and oligarchy are looming large, and standing together to cast our vote is one of the most patriotic things we can do right now"
--Lisa Gilbert, co-president of the consumer advocacy group Public Citizen

Efforts to undermine trust in our elections and make it harder for people to be heard are happening across the country right now. Our democracy depends on every eligible voter having the freedom to participate without intimidation, interference, or barriers.

No Kings: Vote Early is the next step of reclaiming our power after a year of mass mobilizations.

Join us to as we defend and demand nonpartisan voter participation by being in community with each other, and making sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options, and is ready to make their voice count.

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 authoritarians, billionaires, and politicians who believe they are above the people and the law.

No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.

NOTE: 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.
