Forward Fox Valley and the Democratic Party of Outagamie County are hosting a "Good Trouble Lives On" protest! Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.

From felony disenfranchisement to voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act, anti-democracy forces are working overtime to silence our voices. 60 years ago, President Johnson federalized the National Guard to protect peaceful civil rights marchers in Selma. Now, President Trump is calling the Guard to stop protestors from using their voice and to block progress on issues we care about.

We can’t wait. We need Good Trouble now!

On July 17th, the anniversary of Rep. John Lewis’ passing, we’re mobilizing across the country to demand that Congress protect our rights and ensure free and fair elections for all.

We’re sending a clear message:

In the United States, the power lies in the hands of the people. We demand an end to:

The extreme crackdown on our civil rights by the Trump administration, from our right to vote to our right to protest and free speech..

The attacks on black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities.

The slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security.

Please make sure that you are taking care of yourself during the protest. Be sure to bring water and sunscreen. Create and bring a poster! Make the decision about whether or not you are going to bring your phone with you. Follow all laws regarding peaceful protests, including staying on public property and allowing others to pass by. And with all of this, your health is important. Please take care of yourself in the way that works best for you.

See you there!
