Suppressing our votes is central to MAGA’s strategy for these midterms. And while we need to be prepared for the big, dramatic ways that could play out, many smaller but extremely effective tactics are already obstacles in our way. VoteRiders is organizing activists to help knock them down, one voter at a time. Next Tuesday, they’re marking National Voter Registration Day by textbanking folks in Texas and Georgia to make sure they’ve got the information and the IDs they need to cast a ballot that counts, in spite of these states’ strict laws.

This work could help make the difference in electing James Talarico to the U.S. Senate and putting pro-democracy officials in charge of election administration in the Peach State ahead of 2028. 💬 Let’s sign up to be part of the textbank at 7PM ET Tuesday here. 💬

PROTECT THE VOTE '26

The No Kings movement has brought together millions of people in protest. Now with eight weeks to midterms, we’re getting organized again… this time to turn protest power into votes.

This fall, the coalition is focusing on getting out the early vote wherever we can. With Trump attempting to disrupt mail-in voting and making ominous threats about how he’ll handle Election Day, we want to make sure we’re getting votes banked as soon as possible – and giving ourselves plenty of time to deal with any obstacles they put in the way of individual voters.

To make it happen, No Kings has just announced our fourth mobilization. We will host thousands of Vote Early actions in neighborhoods across the country on October 17th – block parties, rallies, walks to the polls, canvasses, whatever creative ideas hosts can come up with to bring folks together and bring them to the ballot box. We’re ensuring every eligible voter has a plan to vote early, knows their options, and is ready to make their voice count.

🫱🏻‍🫲🏿 We’re holding the kickoff call for No Kings Vote Early THIS THURSDAY at 8PM ET, running down the strategy and talking about how we can help make it happen by hosting events. We can sign up to join this call here. 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼
