Good Trouble Lives On- Search for a town near you
July 17 All day
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
From felony disenfranchisement to voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act, anti-democracy forces are working overtime to silence our voices. 60 years ago, President Johnson federalized the National Guard to protect peaceful civil rights marchers in Selma. Now, President Trump is calling the Guard to stop protestors from using their voice and to block progress on issues we care about.
We can’t wait. We need Good Trouble now!
On July 17th, the anniversary of Rep. John Lewis’ passing, we’re mobilizing across the country to demand that Congress protect our rights and ensure free and fair elections for all.
We’re sending a clear message:
In the United States, the power lies in the hands of the people. We demand an end to:
- The extreme crackdown on our civil rights by the Trump administration, from our right to vote to our right to protest and free speech..
- The attacks on black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities.
- The slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security.
What can elected officials do right now? It’s time for Good Trouble, not just from us, but from every lawmaker who claims to care about our country. Congressman John Lewis warned us of this moment. He spent the final years of his life fighting to protect the right to vote. This is our moment to carry the torch, continue his legacy, and pass it forward to future generations.
This fight starts at the local level. Get to know how election administration works in your state. Build local connections, take local action, and find a democracy organization that matches your passion, whether that’s protecting voting rights, fighting disinformation, registering voters, or reforming our election systems.
On July 17th, join us for rallies, community events, press conferences, and candlelight vigils as we call on our leaders to defend the freedom to vote and protect American democracy. It’s time for Good Trouble Now, Congress.
Join us on July 17th. Together, we March in Peace and Act in Power.
