**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 Friendship Heights and Bethesda 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, across the country, we’ll get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
JOIN US AND CELEBRATE OUR DEMOCRACY! We’ll be defying tyranny and getting the vote out early from everyone on both sides of Wisconsin Avenue at Friendship Heights from Jenifer St to Willard Ave.
Wear red, white and blue! Wave your American flags! Sing a freedom song! Bring a sign or make one with us! (You can get great graphics at https://brandfolder.com/indivisibleproject/nokings.)
SAFETY: Please cooperate with our Marshalls, cross streets with the light and leave room for pedestrians.
*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.*
