Join Prescott Indivisible & The Prescott Protesters on Friday July 17, 2026 from 12 noon to 1pm on the corner of Gurley & Montezuma in downtown Prescott for “Good Trouble Lives On,” a protest gathering to honor the legacy of civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis, who died on July 17, 2020.
Coined by Lewis, the term “Good Trouble” describes act of coming together to take peaceful, nonviolent action to challenge injustice. The power of collective nonviolent 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.
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.
We look forward to you joining us in the spirit of Congressman John Lewis.
