Nearly 50 cities in Florida will host events protesting the Trump administration under the name “Good Trouble Lives On."
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 courthouses and other public spaces. Organizers are calling for them to be peaceful.
"Good Trouble Lives On" protests will be taking place across the country on Thursday, including in Central Florida. Nearly 50 Florida cities are expected to host the national day of action protests in response to "the attacks on our civil and human rights" by Donald Trump's administration.
Barbara Arnwine, the president and founder of the nonprofit civil liberties group Transformative Justice Coalition, said the demonstrations are meant to serve as a means to keep racial justice in the national conversation.
U.S. Rep. John Lewis died five years ago, on July 17. Days of action against the Trump Administration are planned this week in honor of the civil rights activist and congressman.
