Walpole Good Trouble Lives On

Saturday, July 18, 2026, at 10:00 to 11:00 AM

Corner of Main and Elm Streets, along the sidewalks at the Walpole Common

Walpole joins with the national Good Trouble Lives On Weekend of events. We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations.  The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action.  Join us as we honor the legacy of John Lewis and carry the torch of the civil rights movement. The fight to protect voting rights never ends, and right now, we’re witnessing a Jim-Crow-era effort from politicians and their billionaire friends to restrict our freedoms, silence our voices, and consolidate power. But in America, we choose our leaders. We will decide our future. The same spirit that fueled Selma, Montgomery, and the March on Washington lives on in our unified action. Six years after the passing of Congressman Lewis, we're organizing an event in our community to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis, and pass it forward to future generations. Join us! A core principle behind all Good Trouble Lives On events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events. This action is non-partisan and does not support nor endorse any particular candidate or ballot measure.
