Why are the rallies happening?<\/p>\n
The \u201cNo Kings\u201d movement has organized demonstrations across the country over concerns about political power and government accountability. Saturday\u2019s \u201cVote Early\u201d theme places a greater emphasis on turning civic engagement into voter participation ahead of the midterm elections.<\/p>\n
Organizers say the events are nonpartisan and intended to encourage all eligible voters to make their voices heard.<\/p>\n
However, individual events may feature candidates or organizations with specific political affiliations. The Women of the West gathering, for example, features Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n
The national movement also emphasizes nonviolent action, lawful conduct and de-escalation in the event of confrontations with people who disagree with participants.<\/p>\n
