Good Trouble protests scheduled across the country for 17 July
USA Today reports:
Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to gather at more than 1,600 locations nationwide July 17 to rally against many of the Trump administration's policies.
The name for the Good Trouble Lives On protests comes from a phrase commonly used by the late-Rep. John Lewis, a civil rights icon, who insisted it was important to engage in "good trouble, necessary trouble" in order to achieve positive social change.
Lewis, who was often called the “moral compass’’ of the House, was one of the most vocal critics of President Donald Trump's first administration. The protests are scheduled for the fifth anniversary of Lewis' death.
