About
The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power. But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action. Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we're organizing events in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. Join us as we kick-off the weekend with a candlelight vigil to honor the legacy of John Lewis and carry the torch of the civil rights movement by doing what Lewis loved most – organizing, educating, and taking action. We will be showing some powerful reels from his civil rights speeches, and encourage attendees to share their views on civil rights or even how John Lewis and other civil rights leadershave impacted you. If you wish to speak, please send us an email at <[email removed]>. Coweta Indivisible has reserved Ray Park from 6:00 until 9:00 PM, so before the candlelight vigil starts at 7:00, please come out and enjoy the park’s amenities or have a picnic with your friends and family. A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On and Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
