Demonstrators have taken to the streets across multiple states on Thursday to protest President Donald Trump’s Administration in a day of action honoring the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, with more events planned across the country in the evening.
Across the country, protesters rallied on Thursday under a shared refrain inspired by former congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis: “Good trouble lives on.” Thousands of people took to the streets in what organizers cast as a national day of action — a sweeping protest of the Trump administration’s cuts to safety net programs and efforts to roll back protections for immigrants and marginalized communities.
The protests were organized by the San Luis Obispo County chapter of national organization Indivisible as part of a wave of protests nationwide, according to organizer Susan Finsen. The date of the event marked five years after the death of politician and civil rights advocate John Lewis.
