On Saturday October 17th we will gather to prepare for and execute a Get Out The Vote (GOTV) community canvassing event. At 8am we can start gathering at 609 N Pine to write GOTV postcards and assemble literature packages. Starting at 10am people can get literature packages, maps, and address lists for communities throughout Phelps County. Addresses will be grouped in 10-20 households to make quick and easy work of it. You can take more if you are motivated to go to more houses! Literature packages will have a rubber band to hang around the door knob. You don’t have to knock doors and talk to residents.
It would be better to work in pairs so bring a buddy! If you don’t have a buddy who can come, come anyway! We will pair you with someone that you can work with.
Please do not wear any offensive or inflammatory t-shirts. This will be a bi-partisan effort.
Prior to the 17th there will probably be a short work day to get a jumpstart on the literature packages. The email address is included in the Communications section.
**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.*
