Wondering why people are protesting or what they are protesting about now? Who is John Lewis and what does his quote 'Good Trouble' mean?

Thousands of people took to the streets in a national day of action to protest the Trump administration’s policies.

Protests and events against President Donald Trump’s controversial policies were held at more than 1,600 locations around the country Thursday. The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action was held in honor of the late Congressman John Lewis.

“Good Trouble” rallies are coming to Boston and other Massachusetts cities on Thursday, July 17, in protest of the Trump administration, according to the Indivisible Mass Coalition.

National organizers of the “Good Trouble Lives On” protests said more than 1,500 events took place across the country Thursday, pushing back against what they described as the Trump administration’s “most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations.

Republican Chair Keith Brin said in a text Friday that Trump’s legislation and actions were part of the fulfillment of campaign promises.
