No Kings: Vote Early Middletown, Ohio

Middletown is ready for change. And we’re ready to vote ourselves into a better future where the residents thrive. Hope is alive, and we’re taking that hope with us to the voting booths.

Please join us to encourage others to vote, to engage with election protection teams, and to learn how important voting is for every person.

This is a non partisan event, so No Elegy Needed is asking attendees to bring signs that encourage others to vote or that give a clear message as to why you are voting. We need everyone at the polls for the midterms and need to be inclusive to reach our goal.

**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.

Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.

*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.*
