The late Congressman John Lewis coined the term “Good Trouble” to refer to the act of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice. Right now we are 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 year’s Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of Action will put Congressman Lewis’s legacy into practice with events across the country.
As part of this weekend of action, join us for Non-Cooperation Theory + Practice, Free DC's advanced training intensive on the key skills involved in effective non-cooperation. This half-day training will teach you what non-cooperation looks like on an individual level, a mass level, and how other movements have used these tactics effectively.
