🗳️Good Trouble Lives On: Honoring John Lewis today🗳️

John Lewis dedicated his life to protecting the freedom to vote. He showed the world that getting into “good trouble” was sometimes necessary to ensure that every American has a voice in our democracy.

Today, on the 5th anniversary of his passing, communities across the country and across Ohio are coming together to take part in Good Trouble Lives On, a national day of nonviolent action to be part of creating change and challenging injustice.

On this day of civic action, we invite you to carry his legacy forward by urging our Ohio legislators to protect voting access and support our election workers, the people who make democracy possible.

Tell our lawmakers:

✅ Safe, accessible, and secure elections are not partisan issues, they are American values.
✅ Election workers deserve respect, protection, and the resources they need to serve voters well.
✅ The right to vote should never be restricted or undermined.

John Lewis was a true American hero. Take action now to stand up for the democracy that was his life's work.

Ohio State Senators

Subject: Protect voting access, secure elections, and strong election administration

Message:

Today, across Ohio and the nation, Americans are honoring the legacy of the late Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights leader and patriot who spent his life defending the right to vote and encouraging all of us to make “good trouble” in the service of justice and democracy. As your constituent, I’m writing to ask you to uphold those same values by protecting voting access and ensuring that Ohio’s election workers have the resources and support they need to do their jobs safely and effectively. Free and fair elections are the foundation of our democracy. Voting access isn’t a partisan issue, it’s an American value. Equally, our election officials, poll workers, and administrators deserve protection from threats and harassment, as well as the tools to ensure every eligible voter can participate. I urge you to oppose any legislation that would restrict access to the ballot or undermine confidence in our elections. I also encourage you to support initiatives that: —Expand safe, accessible voting options —Provide funding and protections for election workers —Promote nonpartisan voter education John Lewis reminded us that “democracy is not a state, it is an act.” I ask you to honor his memory with action that brings us closer to the inclusive, secure democracy he fought for — one that serves all Americans, regardless of where they came from or who they vote for. Thank you for your service to our community.
