The movement should be called "Good Trouble" in Renee's honor. With a nod to John Lewis.

Thoughts?

People can take whatever inspiration they like from John Lewis and his "good trouble" statement. Why apply it to a white woman's murder tho?

State-sanctioned murder must be condemned daily, or at least weekly.

I think many people agree that we don’t want kings in this country, and we need as many people as possible to participate. I love John Lewis and will continue to get into good trouble, but, as hard as it is to understand, not everyone agrees. I think ‘No Kings’ gets us a bigger tent.
