About this engagement

No Kings: Vote Early! Annandale, VA, I-495 Bridge Brigade

For a year, we’ve raised signs and voices. We’ve built community. Now it’s time to turn people power into voter power!

On October 17, join Indivisible Route 1 Corridor — and millions nationwide — to kick off the No Kings get out the vote, vote early and election protection campaign. This non-partisan, kid-friendly event will give YOU the tools to ensure every eligible voter can cast their ballot, and every eligible vote is respected — because in America, We the People choose our leaders, not vice versa.

Election protection starts with voting early, but it doesn’t end until every duly elected official is seated. On this afternoon of live music, crafts, art-making, lawn games, and family fun, we’ll make it easy for you to join and expand the circle of those who go beyond casting a ballot to defending the most vital cornerstone of democracy. Spreading the word, driving massive turnout, working the polls, monitoring the process, tracking problems, preparing to take to the streets if would-be autocrats interfere – there’s a role for every one of us. Come find yours!

**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.*
