Good Trouble Lives On
A community gathering in Mountain View on July 18 to register voters, mobilize civic action and honor Congressman John Lewis
Good Trouble Lives On 2026
Join us on Saturday, July 18, 2026 in Mountain View for a community event centered on voting rights and civic participation.
This year’s event will focus especially on helping register and mobilize voters across the country while drawing inspiration from the long struggle for voting rights led by John Lewis and generations of democracy activists before him.
The event details are still being developed, but expect:
* postcard projects to register and educate voters * local grassroots organizations and action tables * music * practical ways to plug into ongoing organizing work * opportunities to meet other people committed to sustained civic action
The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now we are witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire allies to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power.
But in America, we choose our leaders. We decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, Freedom Summer, and the March on Washington lives on in ordinary people willing to organize together and take action.
Six years after the passing of Congressman John Lewis, we are gathering in our community to carry the torch, continue his legacy, and pass it forward to future generations.
The location may change depending on RSVP numbers, so please RSVP to make sure you receive any updates.

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.
