**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 **Missoula** 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.
We will march down Higgins then rally at Caras Park to protect our elections from sabotage and ensure every eligible vote counts.
### All the details:
– Gather on East Alder Street (by the XXXXs) – we will begin marching at exactly 11:00 am. For everyone’s safety, please follow behind the banner.
– March north on Higgins from the XXXXs to Caras Park where we will rally for our freedom to pick our leaders.
– Visit our resource booths and talk to our volunteers at Caras to sign up for election protection efforts, check/update your voter registration, make a plan to vote early, and get a card with your voting rights at the ready when you visit the polls.
**We want to see your creativity!! Do you have a great costume? An authoritarian-fighting puppet? A few friends and an “I Voted” banner? Embrace your inner artist!**
*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.*
