What is "Good Trouble Lives On"?

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.

TEACH! REACH! PREACH! A Long Weekend of ACTIVISM

This year's GTLO is a three-day national mobilization to honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis by doing what he loved most - organizing, acting, and registering voters.

The weekend will serve as a kick-off to voter engagement, community education, and activations to support and remind our friends, families, and neighbors that we still have the power and the freedom to vote.

Join us by pledging to take action the week of July 17th!

Support Voting Rights in 2026

We're witnessing a Jim-Crow era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms and silence Black and Brown communities to consolidate their power.

This past year, politicians in Congress and in state legislatures have pushed anti-voter bills, and following the Supreme Court's disastrous decision to gut the Voting Rights Act, state legislatures across the South are forcing through racist maps designed to stifle Black and Brown voting power, because they know, our country is strongest when voters show up, speak out, and exercise our power.

In the spirit of Congressman John Lewis, we must teach the public about what is happening, then reach out to our community members and preach about our movement across religions.
