Find Some Good Trouble in Delaware on July 17, 2025, National Day of Action!

Good Trouble Lives On

Submitted by Delaware in June 2025.

News

From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. Good Trouble Lives On: National Day of Action is a day of nonviolent action to respond to these attacks and to remind the nation 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.

This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom. Read More to find out about events near you.
