Supplemental Info:
'Good Trouble Lives On' Protests
Anti-Trump protests will be held nationwide on Thursday, July 17, 2025. The events will also mark the 5th anniversary of Congressman John Lewis’ passing. Lewis, who served in the House of Representatives from 1987 to 2021 (GA05), was a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement Credited with coining the phrase “Get in good trouble.”
From the organizer's website:
"Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration. Together, we’ll remind them that in America, the power lies with the people."
"We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. Whether you're outraged by attacks on voting rights, the gutting of essential services, disappearances of our neighbors, or the assault on free speech and our right to protest - this movement is for you."
"Trump is trying to divide us, but we know the power of coming together."
The main organizing groups include Transformative Justice Coalition, Black Voters Matter, The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, Mi Familia en Acción, along with other partners. Many of these groups were also involved in the recent “No Kings Day” and “Hands Off” protest efforts.
Key events will take place in Chicago, Atlanta, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.
