Badass Civil Rights Hero Rep. John Lewis Will Lead Us Out Of This Awful Week

Badass Civil Rights Hero Rep. John Lewis Will Lead Us Out Of This Awful Week
By Evan Hurst - July 8, 2016 - 4:15pm

Well here we are on a Friday, closing out another awful week of inexcusable violence and death. Should we just get in bed for the next three or fifteen days, pull the covers over our heads and snuggle with a bottle of whiskey?

Eh, maybe, but civil rights hero John Lewis, the Democratic congressman from Georgia, would rather you kick it into gear, get your hands dirty and start making some #GoodTrouble, so we can make a change in this country.

they were as diligent on taking action on gun laws as they are trying to save their sinking ship then action would have happened a long time ago.
