John,
Six months into this presidency, working people, our families, and our communities have been facing some of the most brazen assaults in a generation from Trump and Republicans in Congress:
-
They've torn away health care from more than 17 million people and gutted services working people rely on,
-
They’ve unleashed masked ICE agents to abduct people in the streets and targeted those who dare speak out,
-
And they’ve attacked our civil rights and human rights from every angle, all to keep stealing from us so they can put more money in the pockets of billionaires.
They may have hoped we would sit back and be quiet in the face of all these attacks. They were sorely mistaken.
Week after week, month after month, millions of us have been raising our voices and showing the world that the vast majority of us aren't standing for this. In big cities and small towns and suburbs, in every corner of the country, we’ve shown up with a clear message: In America, the power lies with the people.
On Thursday, July 17, the fifth anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’ passing, people will again be taking to the streets for a national day of peaceful, non-violent action, co-sponsored by Working Families Power. RSVP here to join a Good Trouble Lives On event near you — and show the entire country that we are not spectators to history, we're the makers of it:

65 years ago, President Johnson deployed the National Guard to protect civil rights marchers — like the late Congressman Lewis — in Selma, Alabama.
In 2025, President Trump has been deploying the National Guard to spread fear throughout our communities.
That's because they want to rule by fear. They want us to sit on the sidelines — or check out entirely — as they set fire to civil rights, health care, freedom of speech, and make our lives more miserable.
Instead, working people have been responding with power, people, and purpose. Let's keep up the Good Trouble.
