Residents in Columbus, Phenix City, and Auburn were among many nationwide who protested against some of the Trump Administration’s policies in memory of a former Georgia 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.

Honoring the legacy of civil rights icon Congressman John Lewis, dozens of Columbus residents participated in a peaceful demonstration Thursday evening as part of the national Good Trouble Lives On Day of Action.
