Will you RSVP for a Good Trouble Lives On event near you?

There are over 500 Good Trouble events happening around the country, including one near you!

Dear MoveOn member, My name is Nancy, and I'm a fellow MoveOn member and volunteer from Chesapeake, Virginia. Let’s face it: Donald Trump does not want me or people who think like me and you to vote. But I am sure that you, like me, believe that voters should choose their leaders, not the other way around. But right now, we’re witnessing a Jim Crow-era-like effort from Trump and his billionaire friends to strip away our freedoms and silence Black and Brown voters to consolidate their power. Just last week, Donald Trump fired members of the Election Assistance Commission and threatened to cut off funding from states that don't comply with his orders to change their states’ voting rules.1,2 He wants to take control of our elections so he can control the outcome. The attacks are relentless—and that’s the point. They want us intimidated, quiet, and hopeless. But we aren’t giving up. We will decide our future, choose our leaders, and ensure that the will of the people prevails. That’s why, this weekend, on the sixth anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, I’m hosting a Good Trouble Lives On event in my community to continue the fight for voting rights with nonviolent collective action. There are more than 500 events taking place July 17-19 around the country, including near you. Will you find and attend an event close to you? If our vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t try so hard to take it away. If we weren’t so powerful, they wouldn’t try to silence us. That’s why we need to keep showing up. We know that our right to vote is directly tied to the issues that impact our lives. From healthcare to housing to our ability to live and thrive in our communities, our vote makes a difference. Every person should have an equal say in the decisions that impact our lives. Congressman Lewis’s call to "get in good trouble, necessary trouble” couldn’t come at a more pivotal time. Our right to vote is under attack, but we will come together in the spirit of Congressman Lewis’s legacy. I hope you’ll join me. Find an event near you on the map and RSVP to join an event in your community.
