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 canโt wait. We need Good Trouble now!
On July 17th, the anniversary of Rep. John Lewisโ passing, weโre mobilizing across the country to demand that Congress protect our rights and ensure free and fair elections for all.
Weโre 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.
