Event Description: Des Moines "Good Trouble Lives On" Event - Community Event · Volunteer organized for John Lewis Actions.

RSVP HERE TO ATTEND AND RECEIVE MORE INFO.

The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power.

But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action.

Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we continue his legacy of holding power to account and demanding access to the ballot and having our votes fairly counted, and honoring the will of the people. We say NO to the SAVE Act, and YES to the voice of the people.

Note: Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for, endorse, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. 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.
