Portland District 2 Neighbors Indivisible, Indivisible PDX D3, SEIU, and other community partners are joining forces on October 17th to embrace our right to vote and make our voices heard. We’ll be gathered at the Portland Convention Center Plaza, 834 NE Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, between 10 am and noon.
Join us for live music, short speeches, honk and wave (bring your signs!) and tabling as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. At the rally, you can find out more about early voting, election protection, getting big money out of politics, and strike readiness if election results are threatened.
And yes, there will be portable restrooms available!
**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.*
