From Our Chair, Bob Binney: Our October Meeting, the No Kings Early Voting Rally, October 17th.

We hope to see you at our next meeting on Tuesday, October 20th, 7PM, Community Church, 565 Bolyston Street, 2nd Floor. We will take an endorsement vote on the Ballot Questions for the November 3rd election. A Zoom link will be available.

The next No Kings is Saturday, October 17th. Focus: Nonpartisan voter participation, early voting advocacy, and election defense ahead of the November election.

Activities: Marches, rallies, voter-registration tabling, and organized walks to early voting or ballot drop-off locations. Scope: Over 2,000 events planned across all 50 states, with parallel events in Europe under the name No Tyrants: Vote Early.

Once again, locally, the event will take place in Boston Common. Look for a Ward 5 voter registration/early voting table.

Voting early means your voice is locked in and safe, and it allows time to fix anything—a signature mismatch, a missing form, waiting in a line that's too long, or not being able to make it if your shift runs late. Double-check your registration, cast your ballot at an early voting site, or request and return a mail-in ballot.
