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.
On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.
From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.
This is more than a protest; it’s a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom.
Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

Bay and Mission is a better intersection than Laurel / Mission
This intersection has several advantages over mission @ laurel.
1. yes, also on a state highway.
(Laurel is more of a locals route)
2. Bay has better visuals and space. The ocean mural is a good backdrop. Its setback expands the available space, and the other corners are somewhat more spacious. Better feng shui overall.
3. AND most salient: Incoming southbound out of town traffic frequently turns there to the Boardwalk so it doesnt pass laurel.
Audience is automatically increased significantly.
And thats why I will be there.
Also, i have a collection of excellent high impact artistic signs i can loan out to responsible individuals.
Contact me at town clock Wednesdays 400-600 pm. You'll see a sign or hear my drum
