The "No Kings" movement, which since last year has drawn millions of anti-Trump protesters nationwide, is mobilizing across Long Island and the country starting Saturday with a new mission: harnessing outrage at President Donald Trump to drive voter turnout for the midterm elections.
Voters are being urged to cast ballots early. Organizers are also hoping to build an "on-ramp into election protection work," the group's website says, "needed to defend our votes locally."
