Attend a Protest
Register for the protest Saturday 9/12/2026 in Wellington HERE.
From Nichole: I’d love from now to the end of October for our signs at the protests to focus on early voting and protecting our voting rights! Here are a few ideas to get you started:
-Protect Our Voting Rights
-Stay Away from the USPS
-Stop the Cheating
-Every Vote Counts
-Fight Back! VOTE!!!
-Fear Never Accomplished Anything — VOTE!
Feel free to get creative and come up with your own voting-themed messages, too!And if you don’t have the time or supplies to make a sign, no worries at all! One of our amazing members, Ann D., has made some beautiful signs for us to hold during the protest, with voting messages and more.
Just bring yourself, your energy, and your commitment to showing up!
