About
Later on this day, we will have a 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. visibility event in downtown Falls Church City. To sign up for that, search for “No Kings: Vote Early Falls Church City, VA, Visibility.” We hope you will sign up for both and take a break in between at one of our great local restaurants or shops. **We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.** On October 17th, you can join us in one or more local events as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings. Our bridge brigade will have a giant message, and smaller signs, to let Virginians know they can vote the next day, Sunday, October 18. Come hear the honks and wave to the approximately 11,000 passing cars and drivers. Bring your own sign or hold one of ours. (suggested sign messages: Vote Now; Vote Early; VA–Vote Tomorrow; Your Vote is Your Voice; Our Community Votes Early; Democracy Works When We Vote; Protect Our Vote) For more than a year, millions of people have come together to reject the idea that power belongs to kings, billionaires, or politicians who believe they are above the people and the law. 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 and ensure every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard. *No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and are designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.* *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.*
