Good Trouble Lives On Mass Call: Solidarity with the South
Sixty years after the fight for voting rights began on the Edmund Pettus Bridge, we are back in Alabama because the attacks on our communities are escalating, and we refuse to slow down.
This Saturday, May 16th, the No Kings coalition is supporting “All Roads Lead to the South” in holding an emergency national day of action. We will stand in nonviolent solidarity against the Supreme Court's gutting of the Voting Rights Act and the coordinated effort to disenfranchise Black voters across the South.
This July, six years after the passing of civil rights hero Congressman Lewis, we will continue the fight for voting rights with the “Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action (GTLO).” This year’s GTLO is a three-day national mobilization to honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis by doing what he loved most - organizing, acting, and registering voters. This year's theme is “TEACH! REACH! PREACH!”, a call to demand “hands off our vote!” in the face of threats to our vote.
In this country, we do not answer to kings — not in the White House and not in our state houses. Power belongs to the people, and we the people will decide.
The fight is not over. We have unfinished business, and we will finish it together.
No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings, anywhere.
