"Good Trouble Lives On” National Day of Action builds on momentum against authoritarianism, Fight for Civil Rights

— On July 17, five years since the passing of civil rights hero Congressman John Lewis, communities nationwide are mobilizing for Good Trouble Lives On, a national day of action to speak out against the Trump administration's brazen rollback of our civil rights.

- 

Coined by Congressman John Lewis, “Good Trouble” is the action of coming together to take peaceful, nonviolent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change. Led by the Transformative Justice Coalition, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, Black Voters Matter, and more, movement leaders are inviting folks across the country to “Make Good Trouble” on July 17 by hosting an event in their community.

Organizers hope to build on the momentum from the historic “No Kings” mass mobilization on June 14, 2025, the largest demonstration to take place in Trump’s second term with over 2,100 events spanning all 50 states. We will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.
