Long live the vote! Our elections are under attack. Next Saturday, October 17, we defend our rights. Let's have the largest early vote in the history of our Republic! To find No Kings events near you: www.nokings.org#map

Vote Early

Our elections are under attack right now.

Efforts to undermine trust in our elections, weaken voting rights, and make it harder for people to have their voices heard are occurring across the country.

Our democracy depends on every eligible voter having the freedom to participate without intimidation, interference, or barriers.

This is not a future threat: attacks on our elections and the people who administer them are happening.
