John Lewis told us “Never let anyone – any person or any force - dampen, dim or diminish your light” On July 17-19, people here in Chicago, and all across the country will be coming together to show that the fight for voting rights continues. Right now, some politicians and their billionaire friends are doing everything they can to restrict our most basic right–the right to vote. This is an affront to our democracy.

Join us here in Chicago for the John Lewis Candlelight Vigil on Friday, July 17 as we kick off the weekend of action, honoring him and his commitment to voting rights.

 There will also be events throughout the weekend that make it clear we’re staying in “good trouble” and "necessary trouble” as we work for justice. Click here to see voter registration and other voting-related events scheduled on July 18th and 19th across the city.
