Join MoveOn Clark Count and our partners:Indivisible Greater Vancouver 50501 Clark County, LULAC Southwest Washington, LULAC Vancouver, Pasitos Gigantes, Odyssey World International Education Services, and the Vancouver NAACP for a national day of nonviolent action. Together, we will stand against the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and remind the nation that in America, the power lies with the people.
Bring signs saying what rights you are defending. And wear white — the color worn by women suffragists in the US — to show our solidarity in defending voting rights!
On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’ 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, and not to engage with anyone who tries to harass or intimidate us.
Pick a starting point and meet us there at 6:00 PM:
From each location, we’ll walk together to the Clark County Courthouse, 1200 Franklin St., where the rally will begin at 6:30 PM.
If the weather is hot on July 17, please come prepared with water, sunscreen, and light clothing. If you begin to feel overheated or need support at any point, look for our Community Responders in orange vests.
We can't afford to be silent, there is too much at stake. Please join with us and other community organizations in demanding social justice and to defend against the current assault on our democracy.
---Think about it---
We have not forgotten about Trump and the Republican House of Representatives attempt to remove citizens from Medicaid. Taking 17 million people off Medicaid who depend on it for their medical needs is an abomination, especially so the wealthy can have a huge tax break. Watch the news for how this is playing out. We will be taking action!
We collaborate with local nonviolent progressive groups and participate in national campaigns to support healthcare, immigration, taxes, our environment, and similar initiatives. MoveOn Clark County combines rapid response grass roots mobilization with strategic analysis.
MoveOn is where millions mobilize for a better society—one where everyone can thrive.
Whether it’s supporting a candidate, passing legislation, or changing our culture, MoveOn members are committed to an inclusive and progressive future. We envision a world marked by equality, sustainability, justice, and love. And we mobilize together to achieve it.
MoveOn members are a force for social justice and political progress. We come from all 50 states and all walks of life. Together, we are at once large and nimble, targeting our resources purposefully, yet pivoting quickly as we identify new opportunities for change and mobilize to seize them. Our rapid-response organizing and campaigning, communications interventions, digital innovation, rigorous data science and testing, and culture of grassroots participation have repeatedly combined to produce real-world impact, changing outcomes and making our country better.
MoveOn is more than our name. It is our challenge to America: to move forward boldly and fearlessly, upholding and enacting the values that will make our country work for all of us.
We are the many, and we are powerful. Every day, together, we fight to win. It’s what we’ve always done. It’s what we’re built to do.
