Join the “No Kings:Vote Early” Event on Oct 17th, 2026!

We will gather in front of the Marquette Post Office at 11 AM. (Please note: this is an hour earlier from previous posted plans.)

Our Message: We encourage everyone to vote!

We want to celebrate democracy by using it! Previous No Kings events were an opportunity to voice our concerns in peaceful, non-violent protest. This coming Saturday, Oct. 17, we are shifting gears from protest to encouragement, fueled by the same spirit of joyful solidarity and a foundational commitment to non-violence.

Our Plan:

We’ll walk through areas where we can meet with Marquette residents, attendees of the Fresh Coast Film Festival and the Farmers Market. We will offer information about early voting, voter registration, drop boxes, ballots and online resources to assist voters on and before election day.

Our Walk:

The walk starts at the Marquette Post Office, from where we’ll walk up Third Street to Black Rocks Brewery, back down Third Street to Ridge Street, down to The Women’s Federated Club House, and turn onto Front Street. We’ll then proceed on Washington Street, turning onto Third Street, where we’ll disperse around the Farmers Market. Time permitting, we may also head over to The Ore Dock Brewing Co.

Information Stations:

Starting at 1 PM until closing, LSRI members will be in the Peter White Public Library Conference Room (on the main floor, to the immediate right after you enter from the parking lot). We’ll offer the same information as our walking campaign.
In addition, we will have an info table at the Marquette Farmers Market.

Please spread the word and consider being a volunteer at the above events! LSRI will provide signs and voter information material for all participants to distribute.

About Signs:

We will provide signs for people who will be distributing voting information. If you want to bring your own signs for our walk, we ask that you to bring positive signs about voting instead of signs condemning the current administration and its policies. Examples of possible signs include: Vote for Health Care, Vote to End the War, Vote for Equality for All, Vote for the Rule of Law, Vote to stop ICE, Vote to Stop Hate, Vote for Better Wages.
