Good Trouble Lives On - Save the Date! July 17 Nationwide Protest

Looks like the next nationwide protest will be on Thursday, July 17 — the fifth anniversary of John Lewis’ passing. There’s a web site here:

Good Trouble Lives On

As with previous protests, there’s a map with protest locations. It’s early yet; I expect more will be added.

Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent 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. 

 

From felony disenfranchisement to voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act, anti-democracy forces are working overtime to silence our voices. 60 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. 

 

We can’t wait. We need Good Trouble now!
