The next chapter of No Kings is about turning people power into voter power. On Oct 17, AFT will join partners across the country for No Kings: Vote Early, a nationwide day of nonpartisan voter participation focused on helping eligible voters make a plan to vote early.

No Kings group pivots to mass voter turnout events

No Kings organizers are shifting from protests to nationwide voter turnout events on Oct. 17 to boost early voting.

What was the WORST chore when you were a kid? Mowing the lawn?. Dishes somehow multiplied. Cleaning your room created 46 urgent distractions. And WHY was the trash bag always leaking?! For me, nothing made a kid suddenly very busy faster than hearing, “I need you to do a chore.” What was yours? 👇😂

Maybe you didn’t become who everyone expected you to be. Good. Your life isn’t late. You didn’t miss some imaginary deadline. And you don’t owe anyone the version of you they had planned in their head. You’re allowed to become someone they never saw coming. ⚡💙 #GraysonVolt #RiseAnyway #YourOwnPath

You get to make ONE household rule that everyone has to follow. No exceptions. 😂 🧻 A: Replace the toilet paper roll. 🍽️ B: No dishes “soaking” for three business days. 🗑️ C: Trash full? TAKE IT OUT. 🌡️ D: Hands OFF the thermostat. You only get ONE. A, B, C or D? 👇😂 #GraysonVolt #HouseholdRules

Some people leave your life, but that doesn’t mean everything they gave you disappears with them. A habit. A phrase. A memory. A song you’ll never hear the same way again. Moving forward doesn’t require pretending they never mattered. Some people leave. What they gave you doesn’t have to. 💙

The things adults told us as kids… and we just ACCEPTED them. 😂 Swallowed gum? Seven years. Car light on? Basically a felony. 🚔😂 Too close to the TV? Goodbye eyesight. And they delivered every single one with complete confidence. What did YOU believe for embarrassingly long? 😂👇 #GraysonVolt

We can disagree. We can argue. We can protest, organize and fight like hell for what we believe in. But the moment we start treating people on the other side like enemies instead of human beings, we’re heading somewhere dangerous. Fight for what you believe in. Just don’t lose your humanity.

What happened to Amy Acton today is unacceptable. Disagree with politicians. Challenge them. Protest. Organize. Vote. Speak as loudly as you want. Whatever your politics, this has to be a line we refuse to cross. No excuses. No political violence.

Everybody has that one completely normal thing they’re weirdly picky about. 😂 The right pillow. Your favorite fork. YOUR spot on the couch. Towels folded the correct way—because apparently there is a correct way. 😂 What tiny everyday thing absolutely HAS to be done your way? 👇 #GraysonVolt

A song doesn’t have to fix your life. Sometimes it just has to find you at the right moment—when you’re angry, grieving, alone, or when you need somebody else to say the words you couldn’t. Sometimes knowing somebody else felt it too is enough. 💙🎧 #GraysonVolt #ScarsMadeOfGold #MusicHeals

Kid-me had a VERY different definition of rich. 😂 A refrigerator with an ice dispenser? Fancy. Staying in a hotel? Basically royalty. Room service? Oh, these people had MONEY. 😂 So what was yours? What made kid-you think, “Damn, these people are RICH”? 👇😂 #GraysonVolt #ChildhoodMemories

You picked D… so now I have to keep my word. Ask me anything about Grayson Volt, the music, why I started this, what happens behind the scenes—or just something completely random about me. Serious questions. Weird questions. Ridiculous questions. I’m game. 👀 What do you want to know? Drop it below.

Some people teach you what love looks like. Others teach you what it absolutely doesn’t. Some show you who you want beside you. Others teach you who you’ll never make room for again. Not everybody who enters your life is meant to stay. Sometimes the lesson was the reason they were there. 💙

You get ONE completely unnecessary life upgrade. 😂 🚦 Every traffic light is green. 🔋 Your phone never needs charging. 🚗 You always get the perfect parking spot. 🛏️ Fitted sheets fold perfectly every time. Which one are you taking—or what tiny life upgrade would YOU invent? 👇😂 #GraysonVolt

Some days you’re surviving. Some days you’re healing. Some days you’re ready to get loud. And some days you just want people to remember we’re all human. 💙⚡ So… which Grayson Volt song are YOU today? A — Rise Anyway B — Scars Made of Gold C — Revolution In My Veins D — When We All Belong

There are things I can afford that I still absolutely refuse to pay for on principle. 😂 Delivery fees? Overpriced bottled water? $25 parking when my legs work perfectly fine? NOPE. So now I need to know yours: What CAN you afford… but absolutely refuse to spend money on? 👇😂 #GraysonVolt

Tonight, you’re in charge. What should I post next? A: The real story behind one of my songs B: Something about me I’ve never shared here C: A Grayson Volt song you probably haven’t heard D: Ask me anything about me or the project Drop A, B, C or D below. Whichever wins, that’s the post I’m making.

I wanted this tribute to do more than simply play in the background. ❤️📚 Through October 3, I’m donating 50% of my proceeds from every iTunes purchase of “Coat of Many Colors, Heart of Gold” to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. A small way to honor a legacy that gave so much to so many. 💙

You have no idea what the person standing next to you might be carrying. Grief. Money problems. Fear. A life that feels like it’s falling apart behind a perfectly normal smile. Most of the time, you’ll never know. So when you have the choice, be a little kinder than necessary. 💙 #GraysonVolt

Ok, I want your completely unnecessary hill to die on. 😂 Nothing serious. Nothing political. Just that petty opinion you will defend FOREVER. Pineapple belongs on pizza? 🍍🍕 Toilet paper goes OVER? The book is always better than the movie? State your case. The court is now in session. 😂👇

Imagine being able to erase one song from your memory—not because you don't love it, but just so you could experience hearing it for the first time again. 🎧 That first chorus. That lyric you never saw coming. That holy shit… this is incredible moment. What song are you choosing? 👇💙 #GraysonVolt

Everybody has one completely random skill they’re way too good at. 😂 Remembering useless facts? Folding fitted sheets? Finding the best parking spot? Knowing exactly when the microwave has one second left without looking? Basically… what’s your completely useless superpower? 😂👇 #GraysonVolt

Tonight I want to know something completely random about you. 😂 Not your job. Not where you live. Skip the boring stuff. What’s the weird thing you collect? The hobby nobody expects? The song you know every word to? The thing your friends always give you shit about? I’ll go first in the comments.

I wanted this tribute to mean more than a song. ❤️ From now through October 3, I’ll donate 50% of my proceeds from every iTunes purchase of this song to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Her legacy has always been bigger than music. Maybe this song can help carry a little piece of that forward. 📚❤️

Some people were meant for a chapter… not the entire book. 💙 That doesn’t make what you had fake. And somebody doesn’t always have to be the villain. Sometimes two people simply become different people. You can appreciate who someone was to you… without needing them in your next chapter.

Some songs are basically time machines. 🎧 The first few seconds hit and suddenly you’re 16 again. Back in somebody’s car. Back in a place you haven’t thought about in years. Maybe even with someone you miss. What song instantly takes you back? 👇💙 #GraysonVolt #MusicMemories #Nostalgia #MusicLovers

Garcia: We are going to hold the Postmaster General and anyone at USPS, particularly those that are at the management level, that are implementing this, accountable for what we view as an illegal action by USPS.

Nobody tells you when something is happening for the last time. The last bike ride. The last night talking for hours. You usually don’t know it was the last time… until it’s already a memory. Pay attention to the ordinary days. Someday, they might be the ones you miss most. 💙

Adulthood really has a way of ruining perfectly good things. 😂 As a kid, snow meant NO SCHOOL!!! ❄️ As an adult, it means: “Great. Now I have to drive in this shit.” 😂 What’s something you LOVED as a kid that adulthood completely ruined? 👇 #GraysonVolt #GrowingUp #Adulting #ChildhoodMemories

Some people just feel like home. 💙 You don’t have to perform. You don’t have to explain every part of yourself. You can be loud, weird, quiet, messy—even not okay. And somehow… you’re still welcome. If you have somebody like that, you’re lucky. Hold onto them. #GraysonVolt #WhenWeAllBelong
