This weekend, as communities across the country honor Congressman John Lewis during the Weekend of Good Trouble, we celebrate what it means to get into good trouble; standing up, speaking out, and organizing for justice!
We’re especially proud to see one of our movement’s shining stars, Helen Butler, Executive Director of the Georgia Coalition for the People’s Agenda, continuing the legacy of fearless leadership and people-powered democracy. Helen has spent decades ensuring that every voice is heard, every vote is counted, and every community has the opportunity to shape its future.
Black voters have always been at the center of expanding democracy in this country. From the Civil Rights Movement to today’s fights for voting rights, economic justice, and accountable leadership, we know that our power grows when we organize, educate, and mobilize.
Thank you, Helen Butler, and all of our sisters and brothers across Georgia and the nation, for reminding us that democracy is not a spectator sport. The best way to honor John Lewis is to keep building power, protecting the vote, and never being afraid to get into good trouble, necessary trouble.
