The Indivisible Chapters of Lower Merion, Upper Merion, and Havertown in partnership with DayDream Global invite you to join us in actions
that honor the legacy of John Lewis on the sixth anniversary of his passing.
Coined by civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis, “Good Trouble” is the act of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice. The power of collective non-violent action resulted in the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and we must maintain that same collective action to fight for voting rights today.
This year’s weekend of action will honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and carry the torch of the civil rights movement by doing what Lewis loved most – organizing, educating, and taking action.
We’re witnessing a Jim-Crow era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms and silence Black and Brown communities to consolidate their power. This past year, politicians in Congress and in state legislatures have pushed anti-voter bills, and following the Supreme Court’s disastrous decision to gut the Voting Rights Act, state legislatures across the South are forcing through racist maps designed to stifle
Black and Brown voting power, because they know, our country is strongest when voters show up, speak out, and exercise our power.
In the spirit of Congressman John Lewis, we must teach the public about what is happening, then reach out to our community members and preach about our movement across religions.
Our local coalition has planned several activities and events in multiple locations in Ardmore PA. Come, bring friends and family, and spread the word!
At every location we will be collecting donations of non-perishable foods and children’s books to stock the community’s little free libraries and pantry boxes, as well as for the Ardmore Food Pantry.
