Hundreds of 'Good Trouble' Protests Planned Across US to Challenge Trump Administration

The "Good Trouble Lives On" campaign is organizing hundreds of protests nationwide in response to what organizers describe as attacks on civil and human rights by the Trump administration. These events, held in public spaces such as courthouses and street corners, commemorate the late civil rights leader John Lewis, who popularized the phrase "good trouble" to describe nonviolent civil disobedience for justice. The movement aims to resist rollbacks on voting rights, protest freedoms, and essential services, emphasizing unity and peaceful demonstrations. Protests are scheduled across multiple states including New York, New Jersey, and Washington, with over 1,600 cities participating nationwide and key anchor events in cities like Chicago and Atlanta. Organizers stress a commitment to nonviolence, urging participants to avoid confrontations and not bring weapons to events. The campaign highlights Lewis's legacy of activism and calls for collective action against policies targeting marginalized groups and critical social programs.
