Good Trouble Lives On Rtes 5&20 Avon, NY - Rally
–
July 17, 2025
MARCH IN PEACE, ACT IN POWER.
From 5pm to 6pm, Genesee Valley Indivisible, with support from Genesee Valley Citizens for Peace, will rally at the Avon Village Circle Park, 100 Park Pl, Avon, NY.
Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of nonviolent action to respond to the attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration and to remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.
On July 17, the anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’s passing, we’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy and carry forward his legacy of Good Trouble.
From voter suppression bills like the SAVE Act to the criminalization of protest, the Trump administration is launching a full-scale attack on our civil and human rights. But we know the truth: in America, the power lies with the people, and we’re rising to prove it.
PARKING: Street Parking on Genesee Street, West Main Street, Prospect Street, North Avenue, and other side streets. Free Village Parking in front of the Village Office at 74 Genesee St, Avon, NY 14414.
ACCESSIBILITY: From parking places, use marked crosswalks to cross Rte 20 onto the Traffic Circle. There are paved sidewalks and mowed grass surfaces in the Circle, as well as shade from mature trees. A few park benches are available. If you require a place to sit, please bring your own lawn chair. Drop-off at the circle is possible, but requires vigilance. We recommend using the east-facing entrance to the Traffic Circle sidewalk.

Please note: A core principle behind our Good Trouble Lives On actions is a commitment to nonviolence in all we do. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
