The gatherings invoked the Civil Rights leader’s memory while offering another venue for groups protesting the Trump administration this year.

The nationwide " Good Trouble Lives On " rallies, hosted in several cities to carry on the legacy of late Georgia congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis, aligned with the five-year anniversary of Lewis' death and honored his trademark practice of using non-violent protest as a catalyst for change — a civil act he coined as "good trouble."

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.
