The League and its partners are hosting a rally "Good Trouble Lives On: A National Day of Action" on July 17 to honor the legacy of John Lewis and stand up for our democracy and our rights. Participants will celebrate Lewis' legacy, affirm the value of Free and Fair Elections, and continue the push to make elections accessible without unnecessary barriers for all eligible voters.

Bring your friends, your neighbors, and your commitment to justice. When we stand together, we rise.

Members wishing to help with the event, which will include voter registration and education, please contact LWVCM President Jane Hoffmann at president@goleaguego.org. Volunteers will receive LWV tshirts.

ABOUT GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON:
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.

On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.

From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.

This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.

Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
