This year’s day of action will be a nationwide day of peaceful, nonviolent action and organizing rooted in the tradition of the civil rights movement — but built for today’s challenges. The flagship event will be held in Chicago, IL, with additional anchor events to be held in Atlanta, GA, St. Louis, MO, Annapolis, MD and Oakland, CA. The livestream of the Good Trouble event in Chicago will start at 7:00 pm CT.

At events, local leaders, elected officials, activists, and community members will 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. In memory of former Congressman Lewis, event participants will take to the streets, courthouses and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights and dignity for all.

Good Trouble Lives On demands an end to:

• The Trump administration’s extreme crackdown on our civil rights – from our right to vote to our right to protest and speak freely.
• Politicians and lawmakers targeting Black and Brown Americans, immigrants, trans people and others with hateful, dangerous policies.
• The wealthy and well-connected slashing programs that working people rely on – including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security – to line their own pockets.

Good Trouble Lives On is led by Transformative Justice Coalition, Black Voters Matter, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the Declaration for American Democracy Coalition, Mi Familia en Acción and more.
