Young activists in GA: join us for a screening of the acclaimed documentary "John Lewis: Good Trouble" and our "Zoomin' to the Polls" Party!
20+ years before John Lewis became a congressman... he got into Good Trouble as a YOUTH ACTIVIST!
So as young activists and youth-led organizations ourselves, we're calling on young good troublemakers across Georgia to join us in experiencing John Lewis' story through a dynamic film screening & discussing youth activism at our zoom party!
Film streaming: The film will be available to stream whenever you can watch between Oct. 23-Oct. 27 using the link you will receive as part of your Eventbrite/Facebook ticket.
Zoom party: Then, at 7pm on Tuesday Oct. 27, join us for Zoomin' to the Polls! A conversation about youth activism in America, causing Good Trouble, and why Atlanta is the city of the future.
