‘Good Trouble’ lives on in Leelanau:

Protesters rally for Civil Rights, Democracy

On July 17, community members gathered in Northport and Suttons Bay to take part in Good Trouble Lives On, a national day of nonviolent action held on the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing. The movement calls attention to what organizers say is a growing threat to democracy, from voter suppression legislation like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest.

Rabbi Dr. Hava Bailey, who organized the Leelanau County events, said the local actions are part of a broader national reckoning.
