Organizers say activities could include rallies, block parties and walks to the polls designed to encourage early voting, according to USA TODAY. Here's when and where they're happening.

What is the No Kings movement?
No Kings is a coalition of activist and advocacy groups including the American
Federation of Teachers, Black Voters Matter Fund, Voto Latino, Indivisible, MoveOn and Public Citizen.
Organizers say the movement opposes what they view as authoritarianism and has held nationwide demonstrations since 2025. The most recent protests, held in March, included events in all 50 states, according to organizers.
