About The Event
John Lewis was a legislator and an activist who was passionate about ending racial segregation and securing voting rights. We need his words — and his spirit — now more than ever.
Our coalition of organizations in and around Champaign County invites you to a weekend filled with the topics Lewis loved because addressing issues and celebrating wins benefits us all.
At Good Trouble Lives On, taking place July 17 through 20, learn about Lewis’ legacy, voting rights and elections, honoring history, dignity for everyone, and so much more.
Much gratitude to our location hosts: Spurlock Museum of World Cultures and Champaign Public Library.
