Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we must continue the fight for voting rights with "Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action (GTLO)."
Coined by civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis, "Good Trouble" is the act of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice. The power of collective non-violent action resulted in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and we must maintain that same collective action to fight for voting rights today.
This year's weekend of action will honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and carry the torch of the civil rights movement by doing what Lewis loved most - organizing, educating, and taking action.
