Invitation to help plan “Good Trouble" fest
Feb 9, 2023, 12:00 - 2:00 PM
239A, Johnson Center
You are invited to join an initial planning discussion for a Spring 2023 "Good Trouble Fest” at Mason’s Fairfax campus. Representatives of Mason’s student organizations are invited to share their potential vision of such an event and how it can support the goals of their organization, whether in addressing racism, global human rights, worker rights, LGBTQIA2S, gender identity, climate change, or other topics related to social equity. The event on Thursday, February 9 at noon will feature a pizza lunch. The meeting will be held on the second floor of the Johnson Center (239A).
Register to attend.
This discussion grows out of an effort this past Fall to support Mason students in getting into “Good Trouble.” In 2020 the late great civil rights activist and member of Congress John R. Lewis called out: “To each and every one of you, especially you young people ... Go out there, speak up, speak out. Get in the way. Get in good trouble. Necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America.”
Many student organizations at Mason are already getting into “Good Trouble.” The goal for this planning discussion is to identify ways to: 1) highlight those efforts, and 2) to strengthen and grow the community of those getting into “Good Trouble” at Mason.
If you are not able to attend the event, please feel free to pass it to other student organization leaders.
