'Good Trouble' protest locations: See where demonstrations are planned

Kathryn Palmer

USA TODAY


Tens of thousands of people are expected to turn out across the country this week for a day of action protesting President Donald Trump's administration and honoring the legacy of the late Congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis.

The protests, "Good Trouble Lives On," are expected to take place in in dozens of cities and towns on July 17, five years to the day since Lewis' death. The 17-term congressman, who led some of the most seminal demonstrations during the Civil Rights movement, popularized the phrase "good trouble" when speaking of nonviolent protests and acts of civil disobedience as a way to challenge infringements on civil rights.

Organizers are calling the July 17 "Good Trouble" protests a response to "the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations" from the Trump administration.

Hope as many as possible will participate.
