Organizers launched more than 2,500 "No Kings" events across all 50 states and the District of Columbia on Saturday, Oct. 17, this time focused on early voting for the midterm elections, Stateline reported. The activities ranged from roadside rallies to letter-writing to voters in other states and protest songs. Katherine Scannell, an Indivisible organizer in Queens, said, "Voting early is a great way to protect everyone's vote," while White House spokesperson Lauren Bis said the organizers' talk of voting "proves they should change their name." Organizers have said earlier No Kings days drew 5 million people in June 2025, more than 7 million in October 2025 and 8 million in March 2026, according to States Newsroom.
