Make Good Trouble: In honor of John Lewis


JOHN LEWIS: GOOD TROUBLE tells the story of Congressman John Lewis, an American hero who spent his life fighting for voting rights and racial justice. He fought alongside Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement and helped get the Voting Rights Act passed in 1965.

However, our democracy is now under attack. Since 2013, new voter suppression tactics like strict voter ID laws and shortened voting times have intentionally made it difficult for low-income areas and Black people. But you can help. $1.50 will cover postage to help register 1 person to vote in areas where voter suppression laws and online registration systems hit hardest, like North Carolina and Georgia.
MAKE GOOD TROUBLE by fighting voter suppression and protecting the right to vote.

THE FILM
John Lewis: Good Trouble is a new documentary about Congressman John Lewis, an American hero and inspirational symbol of civil and voting rights. Using recent interviews with Lewis, the film explores his childhood experiences, his inspiring family, and his fateful meeting with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1957.
The GOOD TROUBLE CAMPAIGN celebrates the legacy of Congressman Lewis, as we fight against the injustice of voter suppression. Current voter suppression tactics prevent millions of citizens from having their voices heard and votes counted. This year, we’re making good trouble together to increase voter turnout and fight voter suppression.

MAKE GOOD TROUBLE
In 2013, the Supreme Court decision in Shelby County v. Holder allowed for a wave of new voter suppression laws that make it harder for poor communities, immigrant communities, indigenous communities, and communities of color to vote. This is especially true in southern states where the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow are ever-present.
To combat this, you can use your voice and privilege to support others’ right to vote.
Check out the highlighted states to see where voter suppression is already silencing voters at alarming rates (Source: Brennan Center) and then help empower disenfranchised communities by facilitating others to register to vote.

THE HANDBOOK
Watch the film and follow along with the GOOD TROUBLE handbook to learn how you can stay informed, take action, and make sure everyone has the ability to vote.

Celebrate PADI Women’s Dive Day with Beaches Resorts & Me!

Thank you to Beaches Resorts for including me in their celebration of PADI’s International Women’s Dive Day!
“We are taking Women’s Dive Day to new heights, or should we say depths? To celebrate, travel expert Lisa Niver dances underwater while discovering the perfectly hidden beauty of the Caribbean. Happy PADI Women’s Dive Day! #BeachesResorts#padiwomen#padiwomensdiveday“
Thank you to PADI for inspiring women to get underwater and open up their minds and hearts to learn about the ocean and its creatures!
During the span of 5 years, nearly 4000 events took place across 183 countries, in which women came together to plant new coral nurseries, perform beach and underwater clean-ups, set a world record for the longest underwater female human chain, fundraise for breast cancer research and local women’s shelters – and, of course, to take their firsts breaths underwater.
Become one of PADI’s one billion torchbearers who actively work towards a better balance between humanity and the ocean. It would mean that one in 7 people are focused on taking care of and protecting our ocean in this UN Decade of Action for the Sustainable Developmental Goals 2030. I have loved diving for thirty years and I hope to be able to continue to see creatures like humpback whales, dolphins, sharks, rays and turtles on dives like I did in Turks and Caicos.
