Chalk + Chocolate = ❤️
This Friday, meet us near the Hoogland to chalk some love on the sidewalks, then sip hot cocoa at Scooter's Coffee. Let’s spread kindness together! 🍫☕

Here is some more chalk art GTA made along with Indivisible.

Good Trouble Alliance got a shout-out in the State Journal-Register! 📰💛 Thanks also to DSA and Indivisible for helping mobilize Springfield to the rally!

Proud of everyone who helped make it happen! #CommunityAction

Springfield showed up in Staunton to stand with Ismael and his family. Good Trouble Alliance helped organize the trip, a care package, and outreach to the press — and we chalked some love, too. Our hearts are with the Sandoval family.

So much fun chalk art. GTA especially loves the supportive dinos from our youngest troublemaker!

More chalk art from last night.

Good Trouble Alliance chalked messages of love for the queer (and dinosaur 🦕) community ahead of Pridetober Fest on the 18th! 🌈 We stand with our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors against the Trump administration’s attempts to villainize them.

It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not.

This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

When one person's rights are threatened, all of our rights are threatened. #democracy #dueProcess #immigrantRights #noHumanIsIllegal

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

How Trump's Attacks on Democracy Put the Constitution at Risk | ACLU From military crackdowns to silencing dissent, this Constitution Day reminds us all that we must fight to uphold our rights and preserve the rule of law.

Our Constitution has endured for 238 years through times of extreme darkness and challenges.

We, the people, deserve leaders who uphold our fundamental rights.
