Join the Sacramento Central Labor Council, SEIU 2015, The Ring of Democracy, and other labor and community allies for a powerful National Day of Action on Thursday, July 17 from 4:30 – 6:30 PM at the West Steps of the California State Capitol.

We’re coming together in solidarity and resistance to honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis—and to stand up against the dangerous attacks on our civil and human rights being pushed by the Trump administration.

July 17th is the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, and we’re taking action in Sacramento as part of this nationwide day of nonviolent action to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.

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. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.

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.

Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
