Dear Friend,

This Saturday, July 17th is the one-year anniversary of Congressman John Lewis' death. He spent his life fighting for civil and voting rights.

In his remembrance, we are teaming up with our partners at the Brooklyn NAACP, Common Cause NY, Indivisible Nation BK, and NYS Senator Zellnor Myrie (Elections chair) to hold a Good Trouble Vigil for Democracy. Come hear from faith leaders, elected officials, and advocates as we honor John Lewis and fight for a better democracy, including the passage of the For the People Act. I hope you can join us!

"Good Trouble Vigil for Democracy"

Saturday, 5:30pm

LOCATION

Grand Army Plaza

20 Grand Army Plaza

Brooklyn, NY 11238

RSVP

With anti-voter laws being passed all over America, the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling making it harder to protect the right to vote, and Congressional districts being redrawn this fall, we must honor John Lewis' lifetime work by continuing to fight against voter suppression and for a stronger democracy.

Join us in Brooklyn on Saturday as we carry on his legacy by hosting a candlelight vigil (one of many nationwide), and ask Congress to strengthen and protect our democracy by passing the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Please join us if you can! RSVP here.

In solidarity,

Jonathan Westin, NYCC
