John Lewis was a legislator and an activist who was passionate about ending racial segregation and securing voting rights. We need his words — and his spirit — now more than ever. Champaign County Indivisible invites you to a weekend filled with the topics Lewis loved because addressing issues and celebrating wins benefits us all.
