About
As early as 1764, East Greenwich residents banded together to fight against autocracy - the people and the Kentish Guards, led by Colonel Varnum, asserted that out-of-touch tyrants had no moral right to control their daily lives. We are now called repeat their patriotism, in a peaceful display of democracy. We shout "No Kings!" by voting early in Rhode Island, from October 14 through November 2, ahead of Election Day, November 3. October 17th is a day of nonpartisan voter participation: we are bringing the West Bay together to help every eligible voter understand their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard. On October 17th, join us in East Greenwich as we gather peacefully and joyfully to get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Bring your signs rejecting kings, corruption and voter suppression, along with joyful costumes and a cooperative spirit. 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.
