Let's make this the biggest early vote in American history.

A twelve-hour Election Day asks a lot of a family working two jobs, picking up kids, covering a shift somebody called out of. Eight days of early voting asks a lot less. That's the whole point — and Dorchester is going to use every one of them.

It starts with the calendar below.

One light doesn't look like much. A town full of them does. In the film, 37 Americans answer a single question — What can I do? Artists, teachers, veterans, neighbors. Their answers are small, specific, and more powerful than you'd expect. So are ours.

Outdoors, so dress warm and bring a blanket or a chair. $25 a person, and it keeps grassroots organizing going here on the Shore. Bring a friend — that's how this works.

Nonpartisan, and everyone is welcome. If you're running for office, we'd love to have you — as a neighbor. Please leave the campaign pitch at home for the night.

We'll be on the green space at Race and Cedar, talking with neighbors about voting early — when they'll go, how they'll get there, what to bring. Most people who don't vote aren't apathetic. They're busy, they moved, or nobody ever asked.

Every person we talk to also walks away with a flyer for the parade five days later. That's the handoff: make the plan on the 17th, roll to the polls on the 22nd.

No experience needed — there's a short training to start, and first-timers get paired with somebody who's done it. Music, neighbors, kids running around. Bring somebody who's sat out the last few elections.

No Kings: Vote Early events are nonpartisan and designed to increase participation from all eligible voters. A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect participants to de-escalate any potential confrontation and to act lawfully. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Deck out your ride. Roll out the vote. Streamers on the handlebars. Balloons on the golf cart. Pom-poms on the pickup. Bring your car, bike, trike, skateboard, wagon, or your own two feet.

We gather at Long Wharf and parade together — horns honking, bells ringing — to the Board of Elections to cast our ballots on the very first day of early voting. Best decorated wins bragging rights and a prize.

We're bringing donuts and coffee for the election workers who make all of this run. Want to add something sweeter? Bring a handwritten thank-you note and we'll deliver it with the box.

Decorations should celebrate early voting, not candidates. Voting at the end of the parade? You'll need to be a Dorchester County resident. Nonpartisan. Joyful. Everyone welcome.

Two hours on the corner, and a few thousand cars find out they aren't the only ones. Between now and the 22nd, it's also the easiest place in town to hand somebody their early voting dates.

A billboard reaches the people who drive past it. Ads reach the rest of the district — every voter who needs to know early voting opens October 22 and that they have eight days to use it.

Indivisible groups from one end of MD-01 to the other are pooling for one campaign — $25,000 together. Cambridge's piece is $3,000, and we need it in hand before the window opens.

We don't have a donor class. We have a list, and it's you. A hundred neighbors at $30 covers our end of it.

They're free. Take one of each.

One yard sign, one bumper sticker — so there's enough left for the next neighbor. That's the whole ask. If you're in a position to cover what they cost us, it's $35 a sign and $10 a sticker, and that goes straight into the next batch.

Tell us which sign and which sticker, and we'll have them ready for pickup. Contributions are voluntary donations to Cambridge Indivisible, not a purchase, and aren't required to receive a sign or sticker.
