Upcoming Main Event
No Kings Early Vote Event
Join us on October 17, 2026 from 10am-noon at Albert Johnson Park for the No Kings Vote Early event. It’s a day of nonpartisan voter participation, being in community with each other, and making sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options, and is ready to make their voice count. We will have voter information, voter registration, non-perishable food drive, music and at 11am we will be marching over to City Hall to participate in early voting. Our democracy depends on every eligible voter having the freedom to participate without intimidation, interference, or barriers.
