“NO KINGS – Vote Early” Rally, March and Ballot Drop
October 17, 2026; 10 am to noon
Gresham City Hall Plaza
1333 NW Eastman Parkway, Gresham, OR
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.
The NO KINGS movement is taking the next step, turning people power into voter power, and MEI is inviting you to our East County “NO KINGS – Vote Early” Rally, March and Ballot Drop. This is not simply a protest. Instead, on October 17th, we will demonstrate Early Voting. Following a rally at Gresham City Hall Plaza, those with ballots will be asked to form an orderly line and walk to the ballot drop box at the new East County Library across the Max line from City Hall Plaza.
Participants without ballots will be directed along Eastman Parkway either north to the intersections with Burnside Blvd or south the intersection with Division St. Voter Pamphlets are now available and Ballots will be mailed no later than Oct 14.
We are asking people review their Voter Pamphlets now so they are ready to complete their ballot soon after it arrives and bring it to the rally so they can drop it directly into an official ballot drop box. No problem if you can’t complete your ballot by the 17th, we are setting an example, and will hold mini-events every following Saturday to repeat the same march and encourage voting.
We will have music and entertainment in the Plaza with Clave 503, where people not marching can dance, mingle and discuss their plan to vote and support each other as needed.
***The City of Gresham is having a recycling event in the City Hall parking lot, and we are advising all participants to plan for alternate parking.***
*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.
