Good Trouble

Good trouble is the act of moral disruption—peaceful, principled, and necessary—when silence would mean complicity. Coined by civil rights leader John Lewis, the phrase calls on ordinary people to challenge injustice, even when doing so is uncomfortable or unpopular. In this work, good trouble is taken on behalf of immigrants, affirming human dignity, due process, and the belief that no one should disappear at the hands of unchecked power.

By standing in solidarity with migrants and challenging injustice, this work embodies the spirit of good trouble—the courage to speak out, act with conscience, and insist on human dignity. It is a reminder that justice is never passive: it requires participation, persistence, and the willingness to disrupt systems that harm the most vulnerable. In doing so, we honor the legacy of those who have fought for civil rights and continue the call to create a world where everyone can live free from fear and oppression. We should always be looking out for our Neighbors.
