No Kings – Vote Early

On October 17th we gather to

Boost early vote turnout to historic levels!

Our goal is to turn the election into a season of voting rather than a single day that’s vulnerable to attacks. We need to make sure that turnout is too big to rig. Banking votes early so they can’t be suppressed and any problems surface while there’s still time to fix them. Every ballot cast makes sabotage harder to pull off and easier to expose.

Plus, once voters have voted, campaigns don’t need to spend valuable time and resources trying to turn them out. Instead, they can focus organizing efforts on the people who still need to vote.

Prepare to repel sabotage should it occur

The only thing that will stop voter suppression is mass, organized, nonviolent, insistent people power. If they occur, we will need a concentrated mobilization and we need to make sure we’re connected so we can respond.

Join us!

  • Check for your mailbox for your ballot before you come, fill it out, and drop it in the dropbox if it has!
  • Bring your friends, family, and neighbors.
  • Bring your American flags and signs.
  • Bring your costumes, music, bubbles, cowbells, and other creative props.
  • Most of all – bring your dedication to boosting early vote turnout to historic levels.

Parking

Free parking is available in city lots and on side streets. If you have good mobility, please consider parking a bit farther from the park to allow those with disabilities to park closer.

Be kind to our elders!

Many have communicated their interest in attending, and also their limited mobility and energy. Please look out for them and thank them for their activism!

Bathrooms

We are unable to offer portable bathrooms for this event. There are many businesses in the area but be sure to support them as you use their facilities by shopping or having a meal after the event!

Keep Issaquah Beautiful!

Your help is much appreciated – leave no trace – pack it in, pack it out!

Donations Welcome

Donate to help with future Rally costs and support our work!

We mostly run on volunteer time and energy but some things cost money – printing flyers and informational handouts, sign materials, and safety equipment. We need to raise $1000 to support this event. No donation is too small!
