MEDIA ADVISORY: Erath County Joins National John Lewis Day of Action – “Good Trouble Lives On”
Stephenville, TX — On Thursday, July 17, community members in Erath County will join Americans at hundreds of events nationwide to honor the legacy of Congressman John Lewis and fight back against the growing attacks on our civil and human rights.
