AFT Action
March in Peace. Act In Power.
On Thursday, July 17, Peoria 50501 will host community members in Peoria and the Central Illinois area, joining Americans at hundreds of events nationwide to honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and fight back against the growing attacks on our civil and human rights.
The Peoria 50501 action is part of Good Trouble Lives On — a nationwide day of peaceful, nonviolent action rooted in the legacy of the civil rights movement and inspired by John Lewis’ call to make “good trouble, necessary trouble.”
Participants will gather to march around John H Gwynn Jr Park then rally at the Park Pavilion, demanding an end to the authoritarian attacks on our freedom to vote, protest, and organize — and to stand united against efforts to criminalize our communities, roll back our rights, and slash vital public programs.
C’mon and join Peoria 50501 in “Making Good Trouble”!
As part of our continuing efforts of mutual aid, at this event Peoria 50501 will be accepting donations toward the NAACP Peoria Branch.
Peoria 50501 is branch of the 50501 Movement, a grassroots national effort made up of everyday Americans from all walks of life who stand for democracy, and who stand against the authoritarian actions of the Trump Administration and an all-too compliant Congress. We are a peaceful, nonviolent resistance movement, calling on our government to uphold the Constitution and end Executive overreach. We are of, by, and for the people!
