Making Good Trouble

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

1. Education - short practical talks on how policy affects daily life (schools, housing, business, saftey)
2. Activation - on site tools such as voter registration form, portals, or QR resources and next-step guidance
3. Conversation - curated table discussions on real community issues
4. 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.
