Why We Did It
Doing the right thing isn't always easy. Doing the right thing isn't always popular. And sometimes, doing the right thing can get you into serious trouble, as it did John Lewis when he was beaten as a Freedom Rider and bloodied when he led marchers over the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday.
Despite this, he pressed forward with love, earning the nickname of "The Conscience of Congress." He encouraged others to do what he did and to get into "Good Trouble" by standing up for what is right and for the rights of others, even when it is not popular, even when it is not easy, and especially when the cost is high.
Today, we are experiencing the largest rollback of civil rights, voting rights, and human rights the US has ever faced. If you believe in "liberty and justice for all," join us on Thursday, July 17, to remind our elected officials that they represent all of us.
Consider bringing canned food for local food banks to both events.
