From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. Good Trouble Lives On: National Day of Action is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to those attacks and to remind the nation that in America, the power lies with the people -- and we’re rising to prove it! On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.
This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of
the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.
