Join the Center for Law and Social Justice (CLSJ) at Medgar Evers College on Wednesday, July 16th, for a powerful evening honoring the life and legacy of the late Congressman John Lewis, the fearless champion of civil rights and democracy.

Enjoy a FREE summer night indoor screening of John Lewis: Good Trouble, the inspiring documentary that captures his decades of activism, leadership, and unwavering fight for justice.

This event is more than a tribute and a call to action. As we celebrate Congressman Lewis’s tireless advocacy, we’ll also shine a light on critical legislative battles, including the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, the Freedom to Vote Act, and the urgent fight against Project 2025 and other threats to civil rights.

Come for the film, stay for the conversation, and leave inspired to make #GoodTrouble.

We Do This ‘Til We Free Us: Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice by Mariame Kaba.

This is a powerful collection of essays and interviews that explores prison industrial complex abolition and the broader vision of collective liberation. Kaba, a well-known organizer and educator, argues that abolition is not just about dismantling prisons and policing but about reimagining society to ensure people have access to essential needs like food, shelter, education, and healthcare.
