Please support our movement!
A core principle behind all "Good Trouble" events is a commitment to nonviolent action.
We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at our event. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to the event.

The passage of Big Boon for Billionaires Bill cuts funding for MediCal (CA Medicaid) and CalFresh (CA SNAP) programs at the historical level. Those of us who are financially stable have to step up to help our neighbors as much as we can. We are collecting food donations for Tri-Valley Haven Food Bank at our events and meetings.
Bring food donation for Tri-Valley Haven Food Pantry. Check out their wish list.
Bake Good Trouble: Join us to bake goodies, or seek donations from local bakers, and to help at the Bake Table. Please help if you can. Sign-up and we will reach out to you with details.
No time to volunteer? No worries, you can eat, donate and be merry!
In our No Kings No Dungeon event we made and distributed nearly 1,400 orange armbands to help promote and galvanize the public movement in support of the Constitution, democracy, justice, and equality.
Orange is a symbol of life, love, and political courage. It is also used to honor victims of gun violence and to highlight situations where heightened awareness is needed, like caution signs or road construction. As such, orange is the ideal color to unite us!
Wearing Orange Armbands expands our movement. We will be more visible in our communities, start the conversations, and encourage each other to express ourselves. So, please pick up an armband or make your own, and wear it proudly for democracy! Please wear yours or make one at the #GoodTroubleLivesOn event in Dublin!
Take the Armband Challenge! Post a pic (or video) of you sporting your band around town, tell why YOU wear the band, and challenge your friends! #ResistInOrange #ArmBandTogether
Thank you for joining our #GoodTroubleLivesOn event. We all have reasons why we attend these protests, and are emotional. However it is critical for us to stay non-violent. It means that you will bring best of you to our protests. It is not where you release your anger. We are here to stand united for democracy. Please help keep our event peaceful and joyful!
