No Kings Day is tomorrow! Millions of us will mobilize across the country with one simple goal: stopping Trump from sabotaging the midterms. The regime has made it clear that they’re going to do everything they can to undermine our right to vote and interfere in November's elections. The only thing that can stop them is persistent, organized, mass people power.
Tomorrow, we’re going to drive the largest early vote turnout in the history of the republic and build a grassroots election defense force strong enough to resist the regime’s attempts at sabotaging the midterms. We need you there with us.
Below, you’ll find everything you need to take part in No Kings Day. Join us tomorrow, and we’ll remind the regime and our fellow Americans that power belongs to the people, not wannabe kings.
This election is our best chance to put a check on this administration’s corruption, chaos, cruelty and constant stream of lies and broken economic promises. Tomorrow, Oct. 17, AFT members will join millions of people across the country for a “No Kings” day of action focused on voting.

“No Kings” this weekend is all about voting—getting out the vote, making a plan, voting early if possible and protecting the vote. That’s what it means to fight for a democracy: that your vote matters. Not a king. Not a crown. Not a dictator. But you!
“No Kings” events will encourage everyone to vote early, help friends and family make a plan to vote, and volunteer to protect all eligible voters’ right to cast a ballot for the candidates of their choice. Read more at AFTvotes.org/Midterms2026.
Duane, we’re only two days into our nearly three-week AFTvotes get-out-the-vote bus tour, but I’m already hearing countless inspiring stories of members’ understanding the assignment.
There is so much anxiety over costs and artificial intelligence. But voting is a lever we can pull to make this country work for us, and not just for bigwigs and billionaires.
Voting is our way to convey our hopes and dreams for great public schools, safe communities, good wages and secure retirement, and affordable essentials like gas, groceries, healthcare and housing.
So turn that anxiety into action. Vote early where available; get out the vote among your family, friends and community; and protect people’s constitutional right to cast a ballot.
Thank you.
In unity,Randi Weingarten
AFT President
