We have the power and are claiming it together. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings.
Carpinteria will come together as a community to promote get out the vote for leaders that will serve all residents, protect our elections from voter suppression and intimidation, ensure a free and fair election and assure that our elected leaders are seated. We will gather at Linden Field for introductions and spell out “VOTE” with human filled letters for a drone photo. Everyone is welcome. Bring your kids, dogs and costumes. There is lots of sidewalk space for chalk art creation. A special costume event after the VOTE sign photo will be to dress up like a mail in ballot (think a piece of decorated posterboard on your front and back draped over your shoulders) and march to the Carpinteria Post Office at 5425 Carpinteria Ave. for a photo. We will then spread out along Carpinteria Ave. from Linden Ave. intersection and on the Linden Ave. 101 Freeway overpass for a honk and wave visibility event
**We decide who represents us. We decide what comes next.**
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 ensuring every eligible voter understands their options for how to vote and has the opportunity to make their voice heard.
Because no one person gets to decide our leaders before voters do. On October 17th, join us in local events across the country as we get out the early vote and say it loud: no thrones, no crowns, no kings.
*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.*
