Hands Off Our Vote

Protecting our freedom to vote demands visible, sustained defiance to any efforts that threaten our ability to cast our votes, have them counted and see the will of the people prevail. And we will.

It's officially Spooktober!🎃 👻 Which means we're a month away from the midterm elections! 🗳️ Here are some ways to cast your ballot? Swipe through -->

History won't ask what you posted. It'll count who showed up. Be in the count: check your registration, make your voting plan, and bring two people with you. When we vote, we win. #LetsGetVoteReady

You went to the protest. Great. That took courage. Fascism is not stopped by people who show up for one march and skip the next election. Fascism is stopped by people who register, vote, and bring their friends along to. #LetsGetVoteReady #Pinks 🌊

I can’t stop laughing at this. The fact that Trump &!Vance had to campaign in Texas, Oklahoma and Florida just 4 weeks before the midterms is wild. These are red states, but they know the bottom has fallen out for Republicans, so they have to run defense. Happy Friday Dems, and #LetsGetVoteReady

Free & fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. Trump is trying everything to stop us from voting. Even if they don’t do what they say, it’s an attempt to scare us away from the polls. Vote ASAP. Don't let them take away our rights. #NoKingsNoLies #VoteEarlyDay bit.ly/TrmpThreats

Actor Wilson Cruz appeared on MS NOW yesterday to talk up Hands Off Our Vote, and remind everyone that our website is one-stop-shop for all Americans to make a voting plan and make sure their vote is counted during these crucial midterms. www.handsoffourvote.net

Today is the day! Make sure you are registered to vote in the November election. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! 🎉

Join us for the #NoKingsKickoff call 8pm ET tonight!

Maurice Mitchell: The response to Trump's illegal strikes in Iran was swift...Now this week is a critical moment when we need everyone united to fight back against war and to fight FOR the healthcare and social programs we need. @workingfamilies.org @mauricewfp.bsky.social

Naveed Shah: Over the past few days, the anti-war majority has risen in full force, and I've been so proud to see it. @commondefense.bsky.social @armyofnaveed.bsky.social

Ro Khanna: What’s changing things is all of you. You are building and showing that we have an anti-war movement in this country. No War With Iran! @rokhanna.bsky.social

Sen. Kaine: Another U.S. war in the Middle East after the last 20 years would be a disaster and would demonstrate we haven't learned anything. The War Powers Resolution needs additional GOP votes saying No War With Iran! Take action now: indivisible.org/no-war @kaine.senate.gov @indivisible.org

Sara Haghdoosti: Let me put this as clearly as I can, Donald Trump's reckless and illegal strikes over the weekend has made us less safe. The last few days have been terrifying but they've also been helpful. Why? Because the anti-war majority did show up. @winwithoutwar.bsky.social

Sara Haghdoosti: I have family in Iran and I can't begin to tell you how terrifying the last few days have been...And here's the thing -- it did not have to be this way! @shaghdoosti.bsky.social @winwithoutwar.bsky.social

Fund Healthcare Not Warfare! No War With Iran. “We're gonna continue to say Hands Off the social safety net and remind the world that there are No Kings in this country and show up to defend our values and our neighbors" - @ashdashlee.bsky.social

Healthcare Not Warfare! Tune in to tonight's No War With Iran mass call:

#NoKings coverage was better by smaller outlets while editors of influential news outlets like NYTimes / WSJ / WaPo continue downplay & dampen coverage of the pro-democracy movement and demonstrations like #NoKings. See our analysis: mediaanddemocracyproject.substack.com/p/no-kings-c... 1/n

Ezra Levin on void of MSM coverage of No Kings: Whether you were watching the mainstream media or not you saw this w/ your own eyes, you heard this from your neighbors, and an increasing number of people are hearing it from non-mainstream media sources. @indivisible.org @allinwithchris.bsky.social

Chris Hayes: The No King's protest last weekend – get this – might have been the largest single day demonstration in American history. @indivisible.org @allinwithchris.bsky.social

Today is Juneteenth. Instead of erasing the history of this country, we choose to learn, share, and grow. Here's the history of Juneteenth, and why it matters today:

The hospital I'm standing in front of, and hospitals all over America, are going to close because of the big ugly bill. David Valadao voted to cut Medicaid, but the bill is going back to the House. He has one last chance to do the right thing. HANDS OFF MEDICAID! - @jonbowzerbauman.bsky.social

Hands Off Our Hospitals! Tune in to the rally to stop Kern medical hospital from closure. @socialsecurityworks.org

Wondering 'What's Next in the Fight' after No Kings? Tune in to the mass call:

Rep. Pramila Jayapal: Saturday's No Kings was incredible, really incredible. Such a unifying day of protest all across the country with an estimated 5 million people! @jayapal.house.gov @indivisible.org

Indivisible Twin Cities' Co-leaders tell the harrowing and heart-wrenching story of what they were confronted with the morning of No Kings. @indivistwincities.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Ezra Levin: I really got a shout out new and independent media that helped spread the word...We saw folks like the creators @politicsgirl.bsky.social and @aaronparnas.bsky.social and new media operations like @contrariannews.org and @meidastouch.com...Media is oxygen for a social movement.

Ezra Levin: When we heard Trump was planning his absolutely pathetic birthday military parade…[we knew he] wanted to project strength. He wanted to cow the opposition into submission. That's why we put together No King's day to send a message that democracy was reasserting itself. @indivisible.org

No Kings mass call opens @ashdashlee.bsky.social: I have been cheerleading this No Kings moment for quite some time, and not just because I thought it was gonna be a moment, but because I felt like it was critical to a pivot into a mass movement, a big front of us to say absolutely not on our watch!

What’s next? Join tonight’s mass call! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
