GOOD TROUBLE

WHY JOHN LEWIS INSPIRES ME TO VOTE

Webster University and Dance the Vote are partnering on a non-partisan voting initiative to encourage voter registration and participation in the November 2020 elections in honor of John Lewis. 

​

Congressional representative John Lewis' legacy is an essential part of civil rights and American civic history. To honor the impact and influence John Lewis has had among college students, Webster University and Dance the Vote invites any current university students to post any multi-media, images, videos, music, dance, painting, sculpture, poetry, or any other artistic expression inspired by his legacy. 

​

Any currently enrolled college or university student should post their media of choice (no longer than 60 seconds) on Instagram considering the following questions.

Who is John Lewis? 

What did he do? 

What does John Lewis' idea of "Good Trouble" mean to me? 

How can we protect Lewis' legacy?

Why should we vote to honor him?

Media should not be longer than 60 seconds in length and include the tags @WebsterU, @DanceTheVoteSTL, @WebsterVotes, and #JohnLewis in the caption. Eligibility for the Good Trouble Contest begins at 12:00pm CST on September 22, 2020 and ends October 19, 2020.
