WHY:
Details from The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
From felony disenfranchisement to voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act, anti-democracy forces are working overtime to silence our voices. 60 years ago, President Johnson federalized the National Guard to protect peaceful civil rights marchers in Selma. Now, President Trump is calling the Guard to stop protestors from using their voice and to block progress on issues we care about.
We can’t wait. We need Good Trouble now!
On July 17th, the anniversary of Rep. John Lewis’ passing, we’re mobilizing across the country to demand that Congress protect our rights and ensure free and fair elections for all.
We’re sending a clear message:
In the United States, the power lies in the hands of the people. We demand an end to:
- The extreme crackdown on our civil rights by the Trump administration, from our right to vote to our right to protest and free speech..
- The attacks on black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities.
- The slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security.
