  • Kick off Some Good Trouble at the John Lewis Film Festival

    **Join Indivisible PDX D3 and friends on Friday, July 17 for the John Lewis Film Festival.**

    This is a great way to kick off the July 17-19 nationwide John Lewis Weekend of Action, *Good Trouble Lives On*. We’ll join countless others across the country to recognize the leadership of Congressman John Lewis, a giant of the Civil Rights movement and the “conscience of the Congress” until his 2020 death.

    Many of us know some of his lessons by heart: “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.”

    **The Film Festival on Friday evening, July 17th, is a great opportunity to learn more.** We’ll be showing three films about John and issues close to his heart.

    We hope you will join us for great movies with like-minded folks.

    **“Each of us has a moral obligation to stand up, speak up and speak out. When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something. Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.”
    ~ John Lewis**
