Good Trouble Lives On
National day of action on Thursday, 17 July 2025
The American people are once again taking to the streets to protest what the Trump regime is doing to our country.
Tomorrow (Thursday, 17 July 2025) marks five years since the passing of Rep. John Lewis, the civil rights icon who coined the phrase “good trouble” for peaceful, non-violent action that challenges injustice and creates meaningful change.
In addition to honoring the memory of Congressman John Lewis, organizers propose three main demands listed in their July 16 news release:
The Trump administration’s extreme crackdown on our civil rights – from our right to vote to our right to protest and speak freely.
Politicians and lawmakers targeting Black and Brown Americans, immigrants, trans people and others with hateful, dangerous policies.
The wealthy and well-connected slashing programs that working people rely on – including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security – to line their own pockets.
There are over 1,500 events in the works, with more being added every day - click here for one near you.
All across the country, Americans will be taking to the streets to reject Donald Trump’s authoritarianism and to stand up for civil rights.
