The Laurel Resist Brooklyn Bridge Overpass Visibility Brigade will be hosting an Early Voting action on Saturday, Oct 17 from 4-5:30 PM, for traffic northbound on I-95. Our large sign will be: “VOTE EARLY: OCT 22-29!”
Palm cards and posters describing how to check registration, and how and where to vote early will be available to participants to share with friends and family. Please do not bring your own signs, as these are distracting to drivers. Flags are welcome–and we will provide US flags for waving. This is an invitation-only event, as space on the overpass bridge is limited. Address and further directions will be available from the organizers after sign-up by email.
**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.*
