Before Election Day, No Kings Events Coming to Ohio in at Least 4 Cities
The coalition says 140 cities in 38 states will host rallies, block parties and walks to the polls to boost early voting.
The No Kings Coalition announced Tuesday that it will host nationwide voter mobilization events on October 17, featuring early-voting rallies and marches across 140 cities and 38 states.
Following three previous nationwide protests, organizers created the movement 18 months ago, arguing President Donald Trump acts like a monarch rather than a democratic leader.
Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin stressed the goal is "taking back power for the people" through early voting, while Public Citizen's Lisa Gilbert said events are "tailored and run by locals."
Events in swing states like Ohio and Texas include training to prevent election interference, as spokesperson Sarah Parker vowed to mobilize turnout to make elections "too big for the evils of fascism" to rig.
By October 17, in-person early voting will have begun in over half of states, with Levin noting the coalition's broader focus remains on the upcoming Election Day to ensure voter participation.
