Vote Early, Organize Now: We Defend Democracy Together

The No Kings: Vote Early day of action showed how we can move from protest to collective power. Across the country, people gathered, in community for the largest early-voting mobilization in U.S. history, to cast their ballots early, help others participate, and prepare to defend every valid vote. Move to Amend is a partner in this broad, nonviolent movement.

Those seeking to undermine our elections want us isolated, discouraged, and silent. Instead, we came together - courageously, peacefully, and powerfully.

Voting early is practical. It gives voters time to address problems such as signature mismatches, missing information, or registration errors. But voting together is about more than convenience. When we organize our neighbors, strengthen local relationships, and prepare for election interference, we exercise our collective democratic muscle.

David Keith Cobb (December 24, 1962 – September 7, 2026)

David Cobb was one of a dozen democracy activists who launched Move to Amend in 2010, as well as helping build Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County, from which it emerged. His work challenging corporate constitutional rights grew, in part, from his involvement with the Program on Corporations, Law & Democracy (POCLAD).

For years he traveled the country on MTA-organized “barnstorming tours” -- building power and educating others about the dangers of corporate rule. David was a tireless, spirited and passionate organizer in many arenas of work, dedicated to building a society rooted in true democracy and people power, not corporate power.
