This is what organizing looks like.
One of our No Kings Vote Early hosts lives in a small town nearly 50 miles outside Tacoma, Washington. Over the weekend, she told our organizers the role she wants to play on October 17 — a massive, national day of mobilization to get out the vote:
“What I would like to do is drive people who are disabled and can't get out to a drop box and back home.”
Our organizer worked with her to come up with a plan — and now she’s putting together a WHOLE TEAM to help disabled and elderly neighbors get to a ballot drop box and safely home again.
That’s the power of local organizing: neighbors seeing a need and stepping up to meet it. It’s how we reach voters across red or rural areas at scale — and that work has never been more important.
Our Revolution organizers are working around the clock to make No Kings Day: Vote Early events MASSIVE across the country. THIS is how we’ll take back power from Trump, but it’s going to take all of us doing what we can. Can you rush a donation of $20 right now to power this essential work? If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation to Our Revolution will process immediately.
Thanks to nonstop organizing, these kinds of events are popping up across the country.
In Michigan, there are now 25 No Kings: Vote Early events on the calendar, including organizing to help voters participate early in critical battleground races — like Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate race, now in a dead heat.
Across the country, our coalition is turning the October 17 Day of Action into thousands of local conversations, voter plans, and acts of community support.
But this organizing doesn’t happen on its own. We need resources to support the local hosts recruiting volunteers, reaching their neighbors, and making sure eligible voters have the information and support they need to cast their ballots.
Will you chip in today to help keep this vital grassroots organizing going?
On October 17, together we will turn people power into voter participation.
When we organize, we win.
