Find out what you can do this week to help save our democracy.
June 22, 2025
Hey Everyone,
Thank you for all your resistance efforts during the previous week. Last night, the Trump Administration dropped bombs on Iran. Indivisible released this statement on Bluesky:
"Trump’s decision to bomb Iran risks escalating an already volatile situation into all-out regional conflict. It’s time for Congress to step in and exercise their constitutional authority over war and peace by passing legislation that prohibits Trump from dragging us further into war."
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.
When: Thursday, July 17th Where: Robert F. Stephens Courthouse Plaza (Lexington, KY) RSVP & More Details: Coming Soon!
