Rob Eller, pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in New Philadelphia, said change rarely comes from playing it safe; it comes from speaking out.

Hundreds of peaceful, sign-carrying protesters gathered on Lawyers Mall in the oppressive heat of a late July afternoon Thursday to protest Trump administration policies and to make the "good trouble" endorsed by the late Rep.

Ramirez was one of about 100 people who gathered at Burk Burnett Park Thursday evening to participate in the Good Trouble Lives On protest — a national tribute in remembrance of Congressman John Lewis, a civil rights leader who died on July 17, 2020.

A protest dubbed the "Make Good Trouble Rally" in honor of late U.S. Rep. John Lewis is planned for Chicago Thursday in Daley Plaza to oppose President Trump and his policies.

Organizers will call for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and other voting rights legislation.

The protest, held on the fifth anniversary of the death of Congressman John Lewis, focused on immigration advocacy, voting rights and racial justice.

The downtown Raleigh rally, part of national “Good Trouble Lives On” protests, will focus on a GOP bill that would affect North Carolina elections.

One protestor, Jim Clark, said he's been attending rallies since the beginning of the year. He said he attended Thursday in response to the defunding of the USAID and the resulting food waste, and funding cuts to public media like NPR. Clark said he protests for the sake of his children and grandchildren.
