The Poconos say it again: NO KINGS! And don’t forget: VOTE EARLY!
– 11:00am – Meet at the corner of Main and 8th Streets in Stroudsburg for our Vote Early visibility action! We will walk along sidewalks towards 5th Street. This is not a protest, but a visibility action – to remind and nudge people to vote, and vote early if possible. Bring your posters featuring prominent “Vote” messages, in the peaceful, non-partisan character of No Kings. Think of it as Girl Scout cookies, with long-term impact.
– 12:00 noon – We will fan out to different locations across the county to stand and display our posters and remind people to vote. Our objective is for everyone to participate in high-visibility actions to highlight the importance of VOTING EARLY in this election, in the peaceful, non-partisan spirit of NO KINGS.

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.
**We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.**
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.*
