**Indivisible Santa Maria** will be holding a nonpartisan **Get Out the VOTE** event to direct people to the Ballot Drop Box. We are not taking any chances with USPS! Let’s show up and get the voter percentage up to 70% in Santa Maria!
**Time: 1-3 PM**
**Location: Guadalupe City Hall,** 918 Obispo St, Guadalupe, CA (Ballot Drop Box at City Hall.)
What happens next is up to us. Our country is strongest when all of us show up, speak out and refuse to be intimidated. **We’re coming together across races, places and parties** to demand that every eligible voter should have equal say in the decisions that impact our lives.
**Join us** in celebrating our right to vote, our right to free and democratic elections, and our right to say, **NO KINGS!!**
**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.*
