GOOD TROUBLE takes its name from the late congressman John Lewis’s famous instruction to get into good trouble — necessary trouble — and applies it to a magazine that covers activism, social justice, art, and the creative work of building a better world. The publication brings together essays, photography, and visual features that examine how creative practice and political engagement intersect.
The editorial approach is unapologetically political but never reductive. GOOD TROUBLE understands that the most effective activism is often the most creative, and that art made in response to injustice is not a lesser form of art but one of its most essential expressions. The magazine features activists, artists, organisers, and thinkers who are doing the work — not just talking about it but making it happen in their communities and their creative practices.
Each issue is beautifully designed and produced, with photography and art direction that match the ambition of the ideas within. The visual quality signals that this is a publication that takes both its politics and its aesthetics seriously — a rare combination in activist media.
For readers who believe that making trouble is sometimes the most important thing a person can do — and who want a magazine that celebrates the people who do it with intelligence and style — GOOD TROUBLE is the publication John Lewis would have wanted to read.
