The main event of the No Kings Day of action in DC is being organized by Third Act DMV.
On October 17, join Third Act DMV for a VOTE EARLY rally at the Watergate Steps near the Lincoln Memorial and then march with us across Memorial Bridge to Memorial Circle to demonstrate resistance to government overreach and support for democracy. See here:
FreeDC is organizing Ward by Ward events to encourage early voting. On October 17, the community will have the opportunity to join others from your ward to vote early.
