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!
Let's stir up some Good Trouble! Join us for an afternoon of interactive learning in honor of the late Congressman John Lewis.
The overall focus of this learn-in is to deepen our understanding of Civil Rights history and Voting Rights history in the US. We will have activities for all ages including a reading circle for the kids and Civil Rights Trivia for the adults!
Just bring yourself, a friend, and a willingness to learn! We are all somewhere in our learning journey, and the more we converse, the more we grow.
This event is co-hosted by Indivisible Do Something Alexandria and Rebel Cafe, with possibly more to come!
Good Trouble Lives On is a non-partisan weekend of action. We require that participants commit to not advocate for, endorse, or oppose any political candidate or ballot initiative. 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.

Alexandria History Museum at the Lyceum

Join the Alexandria Film Festival as we honor American ideals with the Virginia premiere of "Space Cowboy." You may not recognize the name Joe Jennings, but you likely know his work that ranges from Super Bowl ads to Baywatch stunt scenes. Jennings, the subject of the feature documentary “Space Cowboy,” has been achieving aerial feats of skydiving cinematography since the 1980s. Now in his 60’s, Jennings looks back at his life and career while planning his latest gravity-defying stunt. Through interviews and archival footage, he confronts the challenges of a high-risk occupation marked by adrenaline highs and emotional lows. This cinematic portrait of a man and his atmospheric adventures was made for the big screen. Buy your tickets ($15) online or at the door. (Doors open at 6 pm for 6:30 pm screening.)
