Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by this administration. Together, we’ll 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. Sixty years ago, President Johnson federalized the National Guard to protect peaceful civil rights marchers in Selma. Now, the current President 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!

Coined by civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis, "Good Trouble" refers to the act of coming together to take peaceful, nonviolent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change.

The civil rights leaders of the past have shown us the power of collective action. That’s why on July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity 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 current 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.
