🎃 The scariest thing this Halloween? The candy aisle.

Halloween candy prices are up 15.3% this year — FOUR TIMES the rate of overall inflation.

And here's the kicker: it's not cocoa or sugar driving prices up. Those costs actually FELL this year. But Hershey's profit margins jumped from 30% to 45%, and they pocketed a $9 million tariff refund instead of passing the savings on to you.

It's corporate greed, plain and simple.

Meta suspended the main No Kings Instagram account in the middle of their National Day of Action around early voting. Full access wasn't restored for hours, with no explanation.

Think about that: a major democratic mobilization suddenly lost one of its primary channels for talking to the public, at the exact moment it mattered most.

But their attempts to silence No Kings couldn't silence the people taking to the streets and the voting booths.

So this weekend, we double down — and get even more people to the polls to prove they can't take our votes from us.

🗳️ Join us for Voting Early Day this Saturday. Make your plan at voteearlyday.org — find your early voting site or drop box, pick a time, grab a vote buddy.

Get the full details for what you can do in the week ahead at peoplesaction.org/updates.

"Did the people of D.C. sit back and allow an attack on vote by mail? No. We got organized."

Michelle of Free DC explained both why vote by mail is under attack — and how to beat it — at the Hands Off Our Elections rally. 🗳️✊

DC organized instead of giving up:
✊ Stood in solidarity with postal workers
✊ Amplified the postal workers' unions' call to hold the Postal Board of Governors accountable
✊ And this time, the Supreme Court sided with democracy

"Do we think that's the last attack we will face on our elections? No. When the next attack comes, will we sit back and allow it? No."

EARLY VOTE DAY IS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 24TH.

Meta shut down the No Kings Instagram page in the middle of their early vote mobilization last weekend. People still took to the streets - and the voting booths. Let's make this one even bigger.

Don’t leave your vote to chance or the last minute.
Make your plan early: where you’ll vote, when, and how you’ll get there?

Get ready, get informed, and get

"They know these decisions are not right. They know they're not popular. And that is exactly why they want to put their hands on our votes."

Elexus Renner of Popular Democracy has knocked on thousands of doors over the years — organizing parents around education, health care, and the decisions that shape our families. At the Hands Off Our Elections rally, she told us what she's seen: 🗳️✊

"I've sat with people trying to understand decisions made for them by people they don't know."

"I've walked through neighborhoods where people feel completely forgotten by the government."

"I've seen communities who are the most affected receive the least amount of information and the most barriers to participating."

And what does defunding those same communities look like? It means:
📚 A first-generation college student depending on SNAP has to skip class tomorrow to meet work requirements
🏥 A parent with a sick child can't take them to urgent care — because they have to work to pay a rising electricity bill
🏫 Schools and organizations expected to meet MORE needs with LESS resources

"That ain't right. That ain't right."

So we're out here saying it back: HANDS OFF. ✊

"They know what could happen if every single person affected by their decisions actually had access to fair elections — if they believed their votes actually had power."

Today, at approximately 1:30 PM ET, the main Instagram account of the No Kings coalition was suddenly frozen and taken offline — in the middle of a national day of action, at the peak of participation and public attention.

Administrators have lost access and cannot log in or manage the account. A major democratic mobilization has suddenly lost access to one of its primary channels for communicating with the public.

We are calling on Instagram and Meta to restore this account immediately.

But this movement is bigger than any one platform. Millions of people are out in the streets today defending democracy and rejecting authoritarianism. Find and follow these accounts on Instagram to stay updated on the day of action and the No Kings coalition's work:

Elaine Williams of Arkansas Public Policy Panel helped a man register to vote for the first time, but a county clerk's mistake almost cost him that right.

His community had his back. After a lifetime of never voting, he finally DID.

"We have the rights. Let's get out there and get our people registered. Let's go make this happen."

Every eligible voter deserves a vote that counts. Help make it happen: 👉 vote.org
Check your registration today. Make sure you haven't been purged from the voter rolls. And make your voice count.

In America, the people choose our leaders. Elon doesn't get to make that choice, no matter how many billions (trillions?) he hoards.

He's spending like it's doomsday because he knows what we know: when people turn out, money loses. Don't stay home. Don't wait for Election Day. Vote early and drown out the billionaires.

This Saturday, No Kings is mobilizing. Thousands of communities are coming together across the country to make sure people get to the polls EARLY.
