No Kings is a national advocacy movement that has organized mass protests and demonstrations. For Oct. 17, organizers say they are shifting the focus from protest to voting, with a nationwide day of action called “No Kings: Vote Early.”
Organizers say the goal is to help eligible voters make a voting plan, vote early where available, prepare absentee ballots, and get involved in election-protection efforts. Early voting has already been underway in Arizona since Oct. 7, and events around the state include rallies, marches, voter-information activities, and other community gatherings.
