This weekend, Saturday October 17, Americans return to the streets in a show of grassroots resistance known as No Kings events.

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.

Unlike previous mass demonstrations that targeted administration policies, this event shifts toward nonpartisan voter participation, early vote activation, and election protection ahead of the November 3, 2026 midterm elections.

Do you have a voting plan?

• Last day to register October 19, 2026.
• Mail-in Ballot Request Deadline received by: October 27, 2026, 5:00 PM

• Information on Allegheny pre-Election Day Voting Options

The first event was on June 14, 2025, when organizers estimated that more than five million people participated in more than 2,100 cities and towns across the country. The second event was October 25, 2025, drawing 5 to 7 million participants. The third was March 28, 2026, drawing an estimated 8 to 9 million participants. These number are estimates provided by event organizers.

I skipped the June 14, 2025 event for this reason.

I missed the March 28, 2026 event for this reason.

I summarized the outcomes for Western Pennsylvania from October 25, 2025 here.

The official No Kings map shows Western Pennsylvanians have planned at least 19 rallies. You can literally attend multiple marches if you’re willing and able. See below the list for more general information.

This time, rallies are again planned across the nation, many organized by local Indivisible chapters. You can use this somewhat dizzying map to find rallies near you. If you want to add or update a specific event, please reach out to me.

This list will update and change, but as of today- 19 rallies are scheduled in Western Pennsylvania. Five are new. 7 from the last series are not

Some people want one centralized event, but I think the many little rallies are a good thing.

• Shows that this is not just a City liberal elite message, it reverberates through the suburbs, small towns, and rural communities.
• Allows people working or with other commitments to participate.
• It’s more accessible to everyone – those relying on public transit, those who don’t have a ride into Pittsburgh, those who feel safer close to home, those who need disability accommodations, etc.
• You can go to multiple rallies. The combinations are numerous. You can start in Beaver (Beaver County), then head up to Zelienople (Butler County), then over to Indiana (Indiana County) and wrap up in the Hill District (Allegheny County.) A bit of driving, but showing up for a lot of different neighbors.
• Standing with neighbors in red parts of our region is important.
