The time to hold our elected officials accountable is not some distant “someday”. Our current leaders' disregard for human rights, the sanctity of human life, international law, and the well-being of our communities demands decisive and forceful action to remove them from power now.
Fear of some mythically worse future evil is a weak excuse used to encourage us to vote for the evils at our door today. What could be more evil than supporting genocide? In such times as these, choosing to sit this election out would rightly be regarded as an act of consent. Consent we cannot give for this appalling misuse of our funds and influence.
The Vote No Evil movement calls for all like-minded U.S. Voters to unite in holding our leaders accountable for the atrocities they've funded and supported with the most powerful tool we have, our vote.
Gen X, Gen Y, and Millennials combined are about 60% of the 2024 electorate. We can start changing our world together by admitting “the kids are alright” and voting with them.
We have the power to change our country’s course by voting our consciouses in the 2024 U.S. election.
Please explore our site to learn more about our movement and find out how you can take action at the ballot box this November.
We face a lot of big problems as a country, and we must band together to take big actions. By ignoring climate change and the needs of the people at home while simultaneously supporting, excusing, and funding mass death our current leaders have us galloping towards the abyss.
The time for small incremental change is well behind us, and we have no choice but to resort to drastic measures going forward. Unprecedented times call for unprecedented tactics. And if the last 12 months have taught us anything, it’s that voting in new leaders will be our most effective way to stop U.S. support for apartheid and genocide.
Let’s send a clear message that our funds and influence must be redirected towards community care and public infrastructure. We cannot afford to tolerate these evils a moment longer.
We are speaking up for the millions of third-party, non-voters, and disenfranchised voters by advocating for the U.S.'s transformation into a true democratic republic where our governance reflects the collective will of all people, not just the most wealthy and powerful.

For Immediate Release: October 2024
Vote No Evil movement encourages support for anti-apartheid congressional candidates, but recognizes that the number of candidates publicly taking an anti-apartheid and anti-genocide stance is sadly lacking.
We encourage and recognize withholding your vote from congressional candidates who fail to meet this standard as standing in solidarity with our action. We also encourage full participation in all other races.
The majority of voters support an arms embargo and divestment from apartheid. The fact that congressional candidates don't share these values is part of the problem. By intentionally undervoting in congressional races we'll express a vote of no confidence in our congress, and our numbers will be quantifiable by public records requests while maintaining voter anonymity.
