Our vote shines as bright and bold as a Gulf Coast sunset, a true reflection of the strength and spirit of our freedom. We take a moment to come together, celebrate and share hope for a brighter tomorrow. This isn’t a protest, it’s a “vote test.” Let’s connect and commit to voting early.
Bring your beach chairs, pack the cooler, and deck out yourself, your spot, or your ride with red, white, and blue—or any fun voting-inspired theme you choose! Most importantly, bring your dedication to voting early and helping others do the same. The goal? To make history—not through
protest this time, but by letting our vote be our voice and aiming for the highest early voting turnout EVER!
We’ll soak in the day’s beauty, letting the sunset inspire change and hope for the future. Community and nature hold the power to heal, and together we’ll share and reflect in that energy. Please follow all beach rules—while the official event end time is 6:30 pm, while sunset is around 7:20. If severe weather hits, the gathering will be canceled, but our mission stays strong.
Try to park near “the High & Dry Grill/Gulf side” (address below; look for balloons on cars) Parking is free, and arriving early gets you “the best” spot. Voter Action Pinellas will be there until 6:30 to answer voting questions and share info about upcoming elections—we’re lucky to have their support!
Together, by believing in our power as a community that votes early and with purpose, we become the change our democracy needs and deserves.
And now… a word from No Kings:
**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.*
