On Thursday, July 17, community members will hold an electronic candlelight vigil along Cabrillo Street in Santa Barbara to honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and fight back against the Trump administration’s growing attacks on civil and human rights.

The Santa Barbara event, 7:30-8:30 p.m., 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,” according to primary event organizer Indivisible Santa Barbara.

The vigil commemorates the fifth anniversary of the passing of Lewis, who coined the term “Good Trouble” — any peaceful, non-violent action that challenges injustice and creates meaningful change.

Participants will gather at the Dolphin Fountain at Stearns Wharf, intersection of State Street and Cabrillo Boulevard, then spread out on the sidewalk along Cabrillo Boulevard.

Participants should bring an electronic candle or flashlight, along with protest signs honoring the legacy of Lewis.

“Participants will gather to demand 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,” organizers said.

Indivisible Santa Barbara is a nonprofit organization that is part of the nationwide Indivisible movement. Its mission is to elect progressive leaders, rebuild democracy, and stand for civil and human rights.
