Jackson, Mississippi Good Trouble Lives On · Mobilize
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're organizing an event in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join New National Christian Leadership Movement, New Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Southern Echo, Helping Hands Outreach Services and MIRA/ MS Immigrants Rights Alliance as we celebrate community at New Mt. Zion MB Church 140 W. Maple Street in Jackson as we “ Teach, Reach and Preach.” We will recognize those who are getting in “Good Trouble” hear from our keynote speaker Dr. Byron Clay of LaPlace, Louisiana and host a community dinner. 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.
