Demonstrators across the country call for civic action, accountability, and justice in the spirit of the late congressman.

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.

People took to the streets to honor civil rights leader John Lewis on the anniversary of his death – while also protesting the current administration.

More than 200 rallied in Fort Myers to honor John Lewis and protest what they see as threats to civil and human rights.

Naples was one city among thousands across the U.S. to participate in the Good Trouble Lives On protest. The march promotes peaceful action.

The July 17 demonstration marked the fifth anniversary of the civil rights icon's death and is a follow-up to the No Kings rallies in June.

Organizers said the protests were a direct response to what they characterize as the Trump administration’s “brazen rollback” of civil and human rights.

Titled "Good Trouble Lives On," organizers said the rallies will take place all over the country on National John Lewis Day of Action. According to organizers, the rallies are also in honor of the legacy of the late Congressman, who often called on his supporters to make "good trouble, necessary trouble."
