## The 4th Middlebury No Kings Rally will be a little different this time!
This time, we’re turning our passion for democracy into action!
Instead of speakers and music, we’ll gather from 1–2 PM to line the lower Middlebury Green with our signs, standing together and reminding our community just how much every vote matters. Vote on Election Day or better yet, vote early!
Then, at 2 PM, we’ll put democracy in motion! Middlebury voters, joined by friends and neighbors cheering them on, will march around the Green and across the Cross Street Bridge to proudly drop their ballots into Middlebury’s ballot box!
Because democracy isn’t something we can take for granted. Democracy is something we show up for, stand up for, and participate in! There’s something so uplifting about coming together with neighbors who share our values. It reminds us we’re not alone and gives us hope!
Everyone is welcome! Bring your signs, bring your friends, bring your energy, and join your neighbors for an afternoon of community, connection, and a shared commitment to democracy.
And who knows… we might even have a few “marching ballot boxes” joining the fun!
Let’s fill the Green with people who care about our democracy and each other!
This is a peaceful, nonviolent, pro-democracy, nonpartisan event sponsored by Indivisible Middlebury.
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.*
