According to the organization\u2019s website, the gatherings are nonpartisan and designed to increase participation from all eligible voters.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cA core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action and no civil disturbance,\u201d the website states. \u201cWe 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.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Marsha Kamish, an organizer for the Katy event, is a fixture at the I-10 frontage road at Westgreen whenever there\u2019s a protest. She said in an email to the Houston Press that she\u2019s joining Saturday\u2019s event because\u00a0 \u201cour voting rights and freedom to cast a ballot without intimidation are under attack.\u201d<\/p>\n Texas Democrats are still frustrated with last year\u2019s GOP-led mid-decade redistricting<\/a> effort \u2014 often referred to by critics as racial gerrymandering \u2014 that prompted House Democrats to leave the state in a two-week quorum break last August. They eventually returned and the measure passed, leaving many Texans who said they were drawn into new boundaries where their representative was not someone they would have voted for.\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition to redistricting, Texas and other states had to hand over full unredacted voter data to Trump\u2019s Department of Justice, and the President attempted to implement nationwide restrictions on voting by mail<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThese actions are designed to confuse, intimidate and discourage voter participation, interfere and disrupt state elections, and delay election certification processes,\u201d Kamish said. \u201cBut the U.S. Constitution is clear: no president or federal agency has the authority to take over state elections or unilaterally rewrite our election laws. America\u2019s democracy belongs to the people, not politicians seeking to manipulate the process. Voting is our most powerful tool for protecting our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n Harris County Voter Registrar Annette Ramirez told the Press<\/a> last week that despite receiving thousands of new voter applications from the Department of Public Safety two weeks before the registration deadline, she\u2019s confident that the voter rolls are accurate.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Regime-change.jpeg\")
