Lewis' influence and philosophy to engage in "good trouble, necessary trouble," is the backbone of the latest round of nationwide protests against President Donald Trump's administration, called Good Trouble Lives On.

The Good Trouble protests planned nationwide July 17 got their name from Rep. John Lewis and mark the fifth anniversary of his death.

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.
