The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action was timed for the fifth anniversary of the death of the late congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis.

The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action honors the late congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis. Protests are expected to be held along streets, at court houses and other public spaces. Organizers are calling for them to be peaceful.

More than two dozen protests were planned across Arizona to honor the late Rep. John Lewis, a longtime civil rights leader.

Protests are planned across the nation on Thursday, the anniversary of civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis’ death. Lewis famously coined the term “good trouble” to describe nonviolent civil disobedience that challenges unjust systems.

Under the banner of " Good Trouble ," thousands are gathering across the country to protest against the Trump Administration. “We’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy,” reads a statement on the Good Trouble website.
