The Humanization Project is teaming up with the ACLU of Virginia and Campaign Legal Center for a live conversation about voting rights, restoration, and what’s happening for people impacted by the criminal legal system.

On October 17, join Third Act DMV for a VOTE EARLY rally at the Watergate Steps near the Lincoln Memorial and then march with us across Memorial Bridge to Memorial Circle. You may choose to end the march there and hop on the metro, or join some of us to return to the Watergate Steps (for a song or two). The rally will feature several speakers and opportunities to check your voter registration status, confirm your polling location, and learn about DC’s animal welfare Initiative, Maryland’s redistricting referendum, and Virginia’s three Constitutional Amendments on this year’s ballots. Our No Kings: Vote Early to stop the Arch march will take us to the site of the proposed Vanity Triumphal Arch, where our presence will demonstrate our resistance to government overreach and our support for democracy. Across all issues, the message will be to vote early, vote in person if possible and turn out in numbers “too big to rig.” With music, chants, a drum brigade, puppets, and all of you, we plan to make some noise as we get out the early vote and help turn the tide for our country. Third Act DMV is a volunteer-run regional group within the national Third Act network, bringing together activists from Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. The group focuses on democracy protection, climate action, and federal-level issues.

For over a year, millions of people have come together to send a clear message: in America, we have no kings. Power does not belong to billionaires, strongmen, or politicians who believe they are above accountability. Power belongs to the people, but only if we use it. Learn more at www.nokings.org.

Please join the ACLU of Virginia and partners for a special screening of Ava Duvernay's powerful documentary "13th" in Virginia Beach on October 18th at 5pm. RSVP below for more details. We hope to see you there!
