Close the weekend in community. We’ll gather for a Sunday service, at 10:00 am, reflecting on John Lewis’s legacy and the call to keep marching, with voter registration available afterward and refreshments to share beginning at 1:00pm. Lewis was rooted in the Black church and the freedom movement — this is our chance to carry that spirit forward together. Non-partisan; all are welcome.

THE COMMUNITY HOUR (1–3 PM) — a moderated panel on inclusion and belonging in Macomb County, in the spirit of John Lewis, with voices from across our region’s communities. Full panelist lineup announced soon. Plus nonpartisan voter registration and fellowship. All are welcome.

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 a weekend of action in Macomb County to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join us! Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for, endorse, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. 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.
