Good Trouble Lives On!

The organizers of the No Kings Day! protests on June 14 have set a date for the next national day of protest against this administration.  Acknowledging the role that John Lewis played in the civil rights movement, the events are being called Good Trouble Lives On!  

The new date is Thursday July 17.  We are letting you know now so you can plan ahead to be there.  As we write, new locations for the protests are being added to the map on the link above.  You might even want to organize your own!

And for those of you who like to go to the source, here is the link to a podcast with Erika Chenowith discussing her research on the effectiveness of sustained, non-violent protests when 3.5% or more of the population participates!

And remember, here’s what we need to do:

  • Attend as many of these protests as you possibly can

  • Work hard to get everyone you know to show up as well.  One on one conversations will be the most powerful and can help people overcome whatever might be keeping them away
