## Upcoming Special Events
### Campaign Rally for Anita Earls: Saturday October 10
Please join us for a rally to re-elect Justice Anita Earls to the NC Supreme Court! This is a special event held at our usual pop-up time and place. This rally will use **only campaign signs and positive signs specifically about voting**. We will provide the signs, or you can bring your own with messages such as VOTE EARLY, MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE, HONK IF YOU VOTE, or WE LOVE VOTERS.
### What Are You Voting For?: Saturday October 17 (A No Kings: Vote Early Rally)
Join us as we share the many ways our votes can impact everyone’s lives using our “Vote For …” signs. Maybe you are voting for Affordable Housing, or for Racial Justice, or for Healthcare for All. These are just a few of the freedoms our “Vote For …” signs highlight.
**Sign-up is required for this event.** We will provide the signs for 30 people. Please wear some combination of red, white and blue and bring your blue ball cap. We’ll have some new ones if you don’t have one yet.
