This weekend, July 17-19th, people across this country are carrying on the legacy of the late civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis, who famously called the work of justice “making good trouble.” It’s the “Good Trouble Lives On” Weekend of Action, and historian David Greenberg, author of the authoritative biography John Lewis: A Life, joins Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush on The State of Belief.

Challenges that Rep. Lewis faced as a civil rights activist are reemerging like never before – and the lessons of his activism can help guide us forward today.

On Thursday, July 16th, Senator Alex Padilla, along with the coalition Faithful Democracy, convened an interfaith roundtable discussion on protecting elections and voting rights to commemorate the legacy of Congressman John Lewis, six years after his passing.  

We start the show with just a few minutes from this historic event, which brought together diverse leaders and a total of ten sitting members of the US Senate.
