2. Good Trouble Lives On protest

Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action in response to the attacks on our civil and human rights posed by the Trump administration, and to remind them that in America, power lies with the people. 

On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis' passing, we are taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble. 

JoCoMo Dem has partnered with Burg Resist, a coalition of local Johnson County organizations, including People Over Politics, CEA, No Small Act, Love Productions, and Diversity and Dialogue, for this event. 

For voter suppression bills, such as the SAVE Act, and 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 are rising to prove it. This is more than a protest; it is a moral reckoning. A continuation of the movement Lewis helped lead, and a new front in the struggle for freedom. 

There will be a rally on the lawn. Please bring your lawn chairs, cold water, and your signs. 

Date: Thursday, July 17

Time: Noon

Place: The Johnson County Courthouse (300 N. Holden St., Warrensburg)


3. Monthly Meeting (Every third Thursday of the month)

Date: Thursday, July 17

Time: 6 pm (Join us at Happy Hour at 5 pm)
