🎙️Nov 2, 2026 Weekly Actions Audio – available for when you’re on the go

🔷 Vote NOW if you haven’t yet turned in your ballot! Drop boxes and Vote Centers close promptly at 8 pm on Tuesday, Nov 3rd. Traffic might be difficult. Do not delay in getting to the box– it may be hard to access with lots of last minute voters. 

🔷 What if it’s already clear by Nov 4 that election interference or sabotage is happening, and we need to take action? If that happens, the No Kings movement will gather on Nov 4, 5 pm Pacific Time to share real-time updates, align on the election defense strategy, and provide clear next steps. Register for this call in case we need to gather together as a movement.

🔷 Our next Indivisible Eastside Group meeting will be Sun Nov 15th on Zoom 3-4:30 pm, with a new member welcome at 2:30. We’ll have a lot to talk about post election!

🔷 We had 17 people attend our King County Elections Ballot Processing Tour on Thursday! Thanks to all who attended and please spread the word on how our awesome election staff ensure our ballots are accurately and securely counted. They are our elections superheroes!

Weekly Actions

 

✊ Action 1 – THE HOME STRETCH: Help to Get Out the Vote & Help Cure Ballots 

💥 First: You and your family 

Is your ballot still on your counter? How about your spouse/child/parent? Please get it in as soon as possible so that your vote can be counted. If you have not received your ballot yet, please call King County Elections at 206-296-VOTE (8683) to request a replacement ballot or go to VoteWA.gov – Washington state’s official voter registration and information portal. Ballots are due November 3rd before 8 pm. Use a drop-box to make sure your vote is counted. 

Do you need help dropping off your ballot, or want to offer help? Contact us at hello@indivisibleeastside.com.

💥 Next: Reach out to friends via email or text. Sample text to copy and paste:

I just voted – have you? There are 3 initiatives and 5 WA Supreme court justices on the ballot you should not skip.  It’s not always easy to decide, but here are some great resources: https://www.progressivevotersguide.com/washington and https://www.kcdems.org/our-party/e/2026-endorsements/. Finally, please use a Ballot Drop Box. Postmarks from USPS can be delayed up to two days and I want every vote to count. I’m happy to answer any questions. Thanks for voting!

Bonus: Download and include in your text or email: Supremes and Initiatives Graphic for WA State residents.

If you have a group text with family or friends around the country, try this conversation starter:

Happy Election Day! I’ve voted, have you?

💥 Reach voters on the freeway with GOTV bridge bannering!

Encourage others to vote! Indivisible Eastside’s large ‘VOTE NOW’ and ‘BALLOT BOX’ banners on I-405 overpasses are seen by thousands of people every hour! Tues Nov 3 – Get Out the Vote Bridge Bannering Bellevue, Kirkland (128th St),  Kirkland (72nd St), Bothell. Sign up for a 90 minute shift!

💥 Reach voters at their homes 

There are opportunities aplenty out there! 

💥 Help to defeat the harmful initiatives on the ballot

🗳️ No Hate in WA State: Actions to Defeat I-001 and I-638:

Here’s how to get the word out to VOTE NO statewide:

  • Check out and share the ads opposing I-001 and I-638 on Youtube. “The Call” (No on I-001) educates voters that I-001 will endanger child abuse victims. “Inspection” (No on I-638) explains how  I-638 would require sex verification inspection for girls to play sports. Please share these videos on your social media and tag @nohateinwastate.
  • Phone bank virtually on Monday at 5 pm or Tuesday at 4 pm  – training provided before calling begins.
  • Canvass – Monday at 4 pm in Bellevue, or Tuesday at 11 am in Kirkland.  Training provided.
  • Overpass Bannering – If you want to join a bannering with NO on ALL Initiatives, check Mercer Island Indivisible, who’s been doing it over I-90.  Join them on Tuesday 11/3 (8 – 9 am).
  • Text your friends! Copy and paste the following into a text message and send to your friends:

Please Vote NO on Initiative 638.  It is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The neutral title is misleading, and this initiative puts up barriers for all girls in the state, and hurts girls sports.  It requires “sex verification”, based only on “reproductive anatomy, genetic makeup or normal endogenously produced testosterone levels.”  Birth certificates will NOT suffice. Tens of thousands of girls in WA do not have a “family doctor” or pediatrician and can’t afford the time and money for these tests. All to discriminate against a handful of trans girls. Athletic Association rules are the better place to handle concerns about “fairness”, and in fact guidelines are in place in the 137-page handbook.  Join me in voting NO to Initiative 638!

🗳️ No on 645 – I-645 would repeal the Millionaires Tax, a historic new law that will modestly increase taxes on just the top half of one percent of Washingtonians – while cutting taxes for the other 99.5% of us. Check out their Mobilize page for volunteer opportunities! Other ways to support the campaign right now:

  • Make calls with No on 645 – FINAL THREE Virtual Phone Banks (Virtual) – Mon, Nov 2 & Tues, Nov 3
  • Watch, like, and share the campaign’s videos.
  • Small business and the Millionaires Tax. See this one-pager from our coalition partner, Economic Opportunity Institute, for more information about how the Millionaires Tax supports small business.
  • Misinformation about the Millionaires Tax and retirement accounts. Our opposition is spreading misinformation. See this resource, also from EOI.

💥 Ballot Curing: Call people who actually want to hear from you! When there’s an issue with a ballot, voters want to know about it. Here are some opportunities to help make sure every vote counts:

Locally, check in with campaigns with very close results to see if they are coordinating volunteers for ballot curing here in our area.

Field Team 6 has aggregated ballot curing efforts in several states. There are phone banking efforts you can join in the following states: Arizona, Georgia (Nov 3rd or later dates), Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina (NC Coordinated Campaign or Carolina Federation)

Call Voters who need assistance

As data on rejected ballots is received in Georgia, Iowa, Nevada, and Ohio, VotePro volunteers will help voters fix mistakes, known as curing, so their votes count! Call likely Democratic voters to help cure mail-in/absentee ballots. Shifts available most days from now through Nov 12th. Note that the listed times are in the Eastern time zone.

✊ Action 2 – Be prepared! Election Protection Rapid Response Planning for Action

Partnering with No Kings Seattle

THIS IS A STANDBY ALERT, NOT YET A CALL TO SHOW UP.

The No Kings Coalition has designated Seattle as a Solidarity City – meaning WHEN CALLED UPON, Seattle will show up in the streets. Indivisible Eastside is joining other area Indivisibles in partnering with No Kings Seattle and encouraging all Eastside residents to attend any potential Seattle mobilizations. At this time, Indivisible Eastside will NOT be hosting rallies but will be focusing our efforts on supporting, contributing to and participating in events in Seattle.

This may be disappointing, as the convenience of an Eastside rally has been very popular. The stakes are so high that it will be crucial for electeds, the press and the country to take notice as we show up in unprecedented numbers to stand together, act nonviolently, and defend the right of every eligible American to vote. Additionally, in order to safely produce a massive event such as has been seen in Chicago, New York, Boston, and LA, No Kings Seattle will need many volunteers. We hope our trained volunteers and those willing to be trained will sign up to help. Stay tuned for volunteer opportunities.

ACTION: How will you know if and when you are needed? Indivisible Eastside will announce mobilization via email and social media. To receive notification directly from Seattle Indivisible, sign up for their Signal announcements and email notifications (choose Major Calls to Action). To stay in the loop nationally, sign the No Kings Pledge to Attend a Rapid Response.

We are hopeful a protest will not be necessary and that the vote margins will be “Too Big To Rig”. However, as we may need to mobilize within several hours or a day to defend our elections, we must be ready to act—quickly, peacefully, and together. 

Please see Seattle Indivisible’s Website which includes great resources for getting prepared including things to pack ahead of time, graphics you can share, and strategies for attending large peaceful protests. 

*A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to non-violent action. This event is a protected expression of our First Amendment rights. We have a commitment to keeping all members of our community safe. *
