CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Indivisible Charlottesville, as well as other local organizers, are once again preparing to commemorate the latest No Kings Day. But this year’s event, in both Charlottesville and Albemarle County, will be a bit different.

This Saturday has been labeled as “No Kings: Vote Early Day” nationally, and rather than holding a fourth gathering at Stonefield shopping center, Indivisible will be gathering volunteers at the Albemarle County Office Building at 10:30 a.m. to help spread the word about the upcoming election and encourage people to vote early. Those interested can register at the event or online beforehand.

“Instead of just gathering to voice our concerns, we thought it was an opportunity to actually act and mobilize voters,” Indivisible Charlottesville spokesperson Dan Doernberg told Cville Right Now.

In Forest Lakes, local organizers will be out near the intersection of Seminole Trail and Proffit Road from 10 am to noon, displaying large signs along Seminole Trail between Proffit Road and Hollymead Drive, encouraging passers-by to vote in this November’s election.

“The midterms is the biggest opportunity we’ll have to turn around (the Trump) administration for the foreseeable future,” Doug Hiller, one of the organizers of the Proffit Road event, told Cville Right Now. “And if it’s not done adequately, the next two years could accelerate and deepen the damage that this administration, which I prefer to call a regime, is doing.”

Hiller has coordinated with other organizers in what he called the “Proffit Road Crew” to organize a number of protests in Forest Lakes since the summer of last year, including demonstrations during the last two “No Kings” protests.

While “No Kings” has typically featured messaging directed against President Donald Trump and his administration, Saturday’s event will be focused on spreading general information about the election without advocating for any particular candidates, despite Indivisible’s recent advocacy for Democratic congressional candidate Tom Perriello, who is running against Republican 5th District Representative John McGuire.

“We’re going to put the partisan stuff aside for this event, and we really will be playing it straight,” Doernberg said. “And that way, we can feel comfortable just walking up to people and say, ‘Hey, do you know there’s an election? Do you want any information?'”

As part of its efforts, Indivisible will be breaking up volunteers into teams on Saturday, and sending them to different areas to spread information on the candidates and state constitutional amendments on the ballot this year.

While Hiller said they would also love for Perriello to win this November, the signs that will be displayed along Seminole Trail by the “Proffit Road Crew” will stray away from specific candidates or political figures while still making statements, with messages like “Stop the War, Vote,” in reference to the conflict in Iran, as well as “Stop the Lies, Vote” and “Stop the Corruption, Vote.”

Both the organizers near Proffit and Indivisible Charlottesville will also be advocating for early voting. Doernberg credited a number of reasons why early voting is beneficial. He said it ensures one’s vote is counted even if they can’t make the polls on Election Day, and that campaigns stop trying to get in contact when they know someone has already voted.

He also said it ensures protection from potential “federal actions” on Election Day, a concern of many in recent weeks as Trump has regularly stoked fear about the security of the upcoming midterms, even suggesting his administration could take action.

“Particularly this year, early voting is a really important way for all of us to take action to protect our democracy and just get those votes in there,” Doernberg said.

Overall, while Doernberg said this may be a “little bit riskier kind of a strategy,” compared to Indivisible’s previous “No Kings” events, he said the organization felt compelled to take a different approach ahead of this year’s elections.

“It just felt compelling to us that we were kind of foregoing that feel good experience, and we’re going for like, really tangible action of trying to reach hundreds and hundreds of people who maybe otherwise might have sat out the election,” he said.
