"Ordinary people with extraordinary vision can redeem the soul of America by getting in what I call good trouble, necessary trouble.” —John Lewis.

In remembrance of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country are joining together for Good Trouble Lives On, a weekend of nonpartisan voter engagement, civic education, and faith-based organizing.

Join Brown Hope and Portland District 2 Neighbors Indivisible to celebrate John Lewis' legacy and pass it forward to future generations. We're hosting a special fireside chat with two of our elected leaders in District 2, Lew Frederick (State Senator for SD 22) and Travis Nelson (State Representative for HD 44), moderated by cameron whitten of Brown Hope. Topics will include the Voting Rights Act, political attacks on civil rights legislation, and strategies to empower Black voters.

We are facing the most brazen attacks on civil rights in generations. We must wake up, act, and carry forth the torch left to us by John Lewis.

1 pm Fireside chat with State Sen. Lew Frederick and State Rep. Travis Nelson, moderated by cameron whitten of Brown Hope.

2 pm - 4 pm: Activities: Register to vote or check your current voter registration. Make colorful flyers to post in District 2 reminding all citizens that voting is our superpower and we must defend it and use it!

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.
