The next No Kings national action is set for October 17, but this one is planned to look different. Instead of focusing primarily on the size of a national protest, No Kings: Vote Early is centered on local, nonpartisan voter participation and 50501.co is adding free printable tools you can use to prepare!
For more than a year, No Kings actions have brought millions of people into the streets. On October 17, organizers are shifting toward a nationwide day of nonpartisan voter participation, with communities helping eligible voters understand their options and make a voting plan.
October 17 will look different in every community
Voting is administered differently across the country, where early voting is already open, communities can organize voter information events, walks or marches to voting locations, neighborhood gatherings or other activities supporting early participation. And where early voting hasn’t started, events can focus on helping people learn when voting begins, where they can vote, what identification they need and how they plan to cast their ballot.

One of the biggest differences between this action and previous No Kings mobilizations is what we expect to happen after.
October 17 is an entry point to continued voter participation and election protection work.
The marches demonstrate how many people were willing to show up and No Kings: Vote Early asks what communities can build with that participation.
