Making Good Trouble

Get ready to stir things up and challenge the status quo at Making Good Trouble - it's going to be a day full of inspiration and action! Making Good Trouble A Civic Engagement Series presented by The Industry Suites, in collaboration with The Malcolm X Center for Self-Determination. Mission: Making Good Trouble exists to transform awareness into action—equipping our community with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to claim civic power and shape the policies that govern our lives. Chapters: Each chapter (Event) within the "Making Good Trouble" 4-Part Series breaks down into four main goals • Education - short practical talks on how policy affects daily life (schools, housing, business, saftey) • Activation - on site tools such as voter registration form, portals, or QR resources and next-step guidance • Conversation - curated table discussions on real community issues • Culture - community rooted environment with music, and refreshments Why it Matters: Local decisions shape everyday life—from zoning and school policy to business opportunity and public safety. In low-turnout elections, a small number of informed voters can determine outcomes. Making Good Trouble builds civic infrastructure so our community can show up informed, organized, and empowered.
