Good Trouble Lives On: A Day of Protest - 7/17/25

In-person event – Windows by the Bay, 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM

Registration & additional info

Good Trouble Lives On: A Day of Action. On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, People Power United is hosting a virtual event to honor his legacy and defend our rights and freedoms. As Trump and his allies push voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act and criminalize protest, we’re rising up in nonviolent resistance—because, in America, the power belongs to the people. This isn’t just a virtual rally. It’s a moral stand. It’s Good Trouble—alive and marching forward.  Join us.
