Trump’s frenzied bloodlust must be stopped. Contact your elected officials and demand that they use every tool available to Congress to end the regime’s illegal war with Iran: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...
Trump on “Truth Social”: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

Who is John Lewis? Join us July 17 to hear from local speakers about Lewis's legacy here in Central Kentucky. 📅 July 17 🕔 6-8 pm 📍 Robert F Stephens Courthouse Plaza, Downtown Lexington.
CONGRESSMAN. ACTIVIST. LEADER. John Lewis (1940 - 2020), was a U.S. Rep of Georgia, advocate for nonviolent action, and a key figure in the fight for civil rights from his participation in Selma marches to speaking at the historic March on Washington in 1963. He said, "When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something."A proponent for "Good Trouble," Congressman Lewis used his elected position to fight for civil and voting rights, the rights of women, children and veterans, affordable healthcare, anty-war efforts, and immigration reform. He said, "Not one of us can rest, be happy, be at home, be at peace with ourselves, until we end hatred and division."In 2011, Lewis was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In his speech introducing Lewis, former president Obama said, "And generations from now, when parents teach their children what is meant by courage, the story of John Lewis will come to mind -- an American who knew that change could not wait for some other person or some other time."Join us on July 17th to honor John Lewis' legacy with a national day of action. "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America." ~John Lewis
