Join your friends and neighbors to stand together in front of the Schuyler County Courthouse on Franklin Street in Watkins Glen to encourage our community to get out to vote as early as possible. Early voting will help protect election integrity. This will be a honk and wave with emphasis on educating people on when early voting begins and where they can cast their ballots. Voting Rights and Election Protection may also be reflected in your sign. Fun, creative signs are encouraged. Information will also be available on Rapid Response Teams. This is a non-partisan event so we can’t support candidates or political parties at this event. We can and should support free and fair elections for all.
**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.*
