Anti-Trump No Kings coalition held early-vote events in all 50 states and D.C. on Saturday, Oct. 17

The protest network is now pushing turnout ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms.

Organizers urged supporters to cast early ballots on Oct. 17, framing early voting as a guard against 'election sabotage.'

Count and messaging:

  • Event count is disputed: The Guardian, Fox News and The Hill report more than 3,000; PBS NewsHour reports hundreds.
  • Events were billed as nonpartisan, but Fox News found local chapters promoting 'Vote Blue' messages.
  • Indivisible co-founder Ezra Levin, per The Guardian: '[Saturday, Oct. 17] will be an anti-election sabotage effort.'
