About
TEACH — Friday, July 17 · 6:30–8:30 PM · The Dovetail, Warren Kick off the weekend with us. Macomb Defenders Rising is hosting a John Lewis teach‑in honoring his life and the unfinished fight for voting rights. We'll share his story, hear from a voting‑rights voice, and walk through how to register and check your status — with refreshments and good company. It's also where we launch Saturday's voter‑registration drive, so come learn how it works and sign up to help. Non‑partisan; all are welcome. 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 an event in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join us! Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for, endorse, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On 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. *A core principle behind all 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.*
