NO KINGS ~ NO THRONES ~ NO CROWNS!!

  • MONROE ST @ TALMADGE RD. Toledo, OH, 43623 United States (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us on the sidewalks beginning at Monroe and Talmadge to line Monroe (between Harvest and Flanders) to say NO KINGS, VOTE EARLY EDITION!!!

Bring your pro democracy and pro voting signs. Bring your noisemakers. Bring your passion.

Now, we are taking the next step, turning people power into voter power. Unlike previous No Kings actions, No Kings: Vote Early, is not purely a protest. Instead, on October 17th, it's a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing our community together to make a plan to vote early!

NO one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: NO THRONES - NO KINGS - NO CROWNS!!!

A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
