This is an affront to our democracy. They are trying to silence us and keep us from voting. We will show them they cannot intimidate us into inaction. “On July 17th, six years after the passing of Civil Rights hero Lewis – we will continue the fight for voting rights with Good Trouble Lives On: Weekend of Action a national nonpartisan, nonviolent effort where communities across the country will come together for a weekend of voter engagement, civic education and faith-based organizing. “The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action. Like the freedom fights before us, we must continue to exercise and support our democracy and sacred freedom to vote.” Good Trouble Lives On is anchored by non-partisan voter engagement, civic education and faith-based organizing, under the banner of “Teach! Reach!
