“No Kings IV — Celebrate Your Vote!”: Birmingham Indivisible joins Greater Birmingham Ministries, Poor People’s Campaign and ACLU Alabama to make sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options and is ready to make their voice COUNT!!

On October 17, 2026, our No Kings IV — Celebrate Your Vote event, held in collaboration with numerous other nonpartisan organizations across the country, will encourage people to “Get Out The Vote” across the United States.

Families across the country are struggling to afford groceries, gas, electric bills and the everyday cost of getting by. The decisions made by those in power shape our lives, our communities and our future.

This will be a day of nonpartisan voter participation, being in community with each other and making sure every eligible voter has a plan, knows their options and is ready to make their voice count. Comedian Matt Davis will return for a repeat performance as MC.

First, at 11 a.m., attendees are encouraged to bring their signs and costumes and line 3rd Ave South between 14th and 18th Streets South, all designed to CELEBRATE and PROTECT our ability to VOTE! Bring your own signs, or we will have a few to share.

Then, beginning at 11:30 a.m. and lasting until 2 p.m., we will gather in Railroad Park where there will be various opportunities to learn more about voting, preparing to vote, getting out the vote and protecting the vote. The League of Women Voters of Greater Birmingham and We❤️The Vote will be assisting people in checking their voter status and polling location and will be registering or updating voter registrations. Greater Birmingham Ministries will sign up people who need rides to the polls. Black Voters Matter Fund will train people on canvassing. There will be information about in-person absentee voting, and we will also be recruiting canvassers and phone bankers. There will also be information about poll monitor training and about Hands Off Our Vote.

“Since the first No Kings in June of last year millions of people have demonstrated they are not afraid and they will not bow to any would-be American King. We’ve sent that message loud and clear – but we’re not just sending a message with this next No Kings. We’re taking back power for the people using our constitutional right to organize and our constitutional right to vote,” said Ezra Levin, co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible.

These celebrations will occur at 13 different sites in Alabama: Athens, Huntsville, Fort Payne, Oneonta, Oxford, Tuscaloosa, Clanton, Auburn, Montgomery, Dothan, Mobile, Foley and, of course, Birmingham. For a full list of participating cities, locations and event details, visit NoKings.org.
