Our History
The Good Trouble Coalition was established in June, 2022 to organize advocacy efforts by healthcare and public health practitioners. It was born in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the erosion of public health measures and policies passed by the Indiana General Assembly led to a prolongation of the public health crisis in Indiana. The group started with a google form and occasional emails about advocacy efforts for gun safety, reproductive rights, and public health measures and has grown very quickly to over 800 stakeholders interested in public health and social justice (no longer just healthcare and public health practitioners) in Indiana gathering on zoom calls to learn about advocacy and what they can do to help make things better in Indiana.
