The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power. 

But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action. 

Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we're organizing an event in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join us!

Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for, endorse, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.

Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action

Join us for a fun, non-partisan community gathering focused on empowering voters! We will be providing voting rules/laws education, music, lively discussions, snacks/drinks, personal stories about the power of voting and resources/support to verify registration, register to vote, make a plan to vote and ideas to mobilize those who want to help “get out the vote” in their own communities.  

Please spread the word to others who may need support with registering to vote, verifying their registration, the motivation to exercise their right to vote or want to know what actions they can take to “get out the vote” to their communities.

More to come!

Hope to see you there.
