Thursday, July 17, 4:30-6pm, Second Baptist Church, 186 N. 17th St.

July 17 is the fifth anniversary of the passing of Congressman John Lewis; the nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On” events are in his honor. Indivisible Central Ohio and Common Cause Ohio are excited to be working with several important Black-led organizations to commemorate and celebrate — and continue — Congressman Lewis’s legacy of struggle for justice.

Please join us at Second Baptist Church, the oldest Black church in Columbus, where we will hear from these speakers and several others.

• Deidra Reese, Ohio Organizing Collaborative and the Amos Project

• Morgan Harper, Columbus Stand Up

• Pastor Brian K. Holland, Second Community Church

• Catherine Turcer, Common Cause Ohio

The program will include music and more!

At the conclusion of the program, some of the attendees will travel (drive or march) to the Ohio Statehouse to join the “50501 Good Trouble” rally scheduled for 6-8pm.

“Good Trouble Lives On” is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration. Together, we’ll remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.

Coined by civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis, “Good Trouble” is the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change.

The civil rights leaders of the past have shown us the power of collective action. That’s why on July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, voting rights, and dignity for all.
