We are facing the most brazen rollback of our civil liberties in generations. And it's clear that voting, calling our representatives, attending marches and rallies, and speaking out against injustice and cruelty are simply not enough to stop the fossil fueled fascists. We have to take direct action, and get in good trouble.

Whether you're outraged by attacks on our climate, communities, the gutting of essential services, the assault on free speech, the disappearing of our neighbors, or your right to protest — this is the moment to, in the words of Congressman John Lewis: "Get in Good Trouble. Necessary trouble. And redeem the soul of the United States."

Trump is trying to divide us, but we know the power of coming together. RSVP here to join us and allies from across the voting and civil rights movement for Good Trouble Lives on – a day of action on July 17 to honor the life and legacy of John Lewis.

Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration. Congressman John Lewis defined "Good Trouble" as taking peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change.

Lewis was famous for getting in good trouble: On the Edmund Pettus bridge, where he and other marchers were beaten during the first march for voting rights — The televised attack that came to be known as "Bloody Sunday." At the March on Washington where he spoke on behalf of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). And even as a member of Congress where he led the first and only sit in on the floor of the US Congress to demand the Republican leadership take action on gun control.

He wrote a letter that was published shortly after his death during the first Trump Administration, where he urged all of us to "Redeem the Soul of Our Nation" through the practice of non-violent direct 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.

Join us on July 17, 2025, for Good Trouble Lives On.

Thanks for all you do,

Drew & the 198 kinds of good trouble crew
