What is “Good Trouble Lives On?”

Coined by civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis, "Good Trouble" is the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change.Good Trouble is marches, protests, service work – any action where communities come together, take a stand against wrongdoings, and speak truth to power. 

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, we’re calling on Americans across the country to Make Good Trouble Together.

Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of 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. 

We are not spectators to history. We are the makers of it. Together, we can push back against the Trump administration and fight for a democracy that works for us.

With People. With Power. With Good Trouble.

What We’re Fighting For

We are facing a national crisis.

We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights and democratic protections in generations. The same forces that used violence against John Lewis and civil rights leaders on the Edmund Pettus Bridge are back, with billionaires’ backers, extremist leaders, and authoritarian ambition.

65 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.

  • The Trump administration is attacking our freedom to vote by trying to pass laws that would prevent millions of Americans from voting.Trump and his allies are weaponizing racist voter suppression tactics to silence the voices of those who demand accountability, specifically targeting Black, Brown, immigrant, and Indigenous communities.


  • Donald Trump knows that his extreme agenda is unpopular, so he’s attempting to silence our voices. They’ve cracked down on free speech, targeting people for their political positions, and deployed the National Guard to quell peaceful protests in LA. 


  • Donald Trump’s Congress is stripping away healthcare and services that Americans rely on. His billionaire budget cuts programs like Medicaid and SNAP, all while cutting taxes for billionaires and helping corporations reap record profits.


  • Civil rights are being stripped away, from reproductive rights to our right to due process. They’ve disappeared our neighbors, denied women of critical life-saving care, and used “DEI” as a Trojan horse to target black and brown Americans — all while perpetuating lies and erasing history through voter roll purges and attacks on education.
