John Lewis showed us what real courage looks like.
John,
Five years ago today, we lost Rep. John Lewis — a titan of the civil rights movement. He risked his life for the right to vote, marched across bridges with broken bones, an unbreakable spirit, and spent every ounce of his life fighting for our democracy.
Today, millions will follow his lead.
Across the country, communities will take to the streets, courthouses, and public spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.

We're not just honoring John Lewis's memory, John — we're continuing his fight.
Because the threats we face today are real.
The conservative majority on the Supreme Court has spent more than a decade hollowing out the Voting Rights Act in a series of dangerous opinions, while Trump and his MAGA cronies are doing everything they can to upend our democracy and roll back all of the hard fought progress leaders like John Lewis and others sacrificed so much for.
Now it’s on us to pick up the baton he carried and continue his fight for a more equitable country. Lewis famously called his activism “good trouble.” Today, let’s make some.
Help honor John Lewis's legacy today by joining a march near you. And if you can’t march in person, you can still play a role by sharing this email to your networks — friends, family, colleagues, and others!

In solidarity,
