Get Out the Vote Visibility Event
Come stand with South Hampton Roads Indivisible and friends of democracy in our region to encourage early voting and maximum voter participation. Our focus is on areas of traditionally low voter turnout.
SHRI, along with Herstory, is hosting this event in cooperation with two partner organizations also hosting simultaneous events around our city.
Veterans for Peace is hosting an event at 910 Great Bridge Blvd, while Rise Up Chesapeake and BNW are hosting at the intersection of Campostella Rd, Battlefield North, and Atlantic Ave during the same time frame.
Arrive by 10 AM to stake out your spot and be part of the largest GOTV event in Chesapeake during this election season. Contact the hosting organizations if you are willing to volunteer for a facilitator role.
There is ample parking in the immediate area.
**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.*
