Demonstrators in coastal Georgia and the Lowcountry participated in the nationwide "Good Trouble Lives On" protests Thursday.

The Good Trouble Lives On protests on July 17 follow similar protests across the U.S., dubbed No Kings, in June.

The protests are taking place on the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights icon John Lewis. The former congressman coined the phrase "good trouble" to describe peaceful protests challenging civil rights infringements, and organizers say the upcoming demonstrations will carry on this legacy.

Former Representative John Lewis was a prominent figure of the civil rights movement and called peaceful protests “good trouble.”

Residents included Oklahoma City in a nationwide anti-Trump protest effort, which honors the death of civil rights activist John Lewis.

The July 17 protest in Green Bay was intended as a demonstration focused on civil rights. Protesters expressed anger and disgust more broadly.
