Hundreds attended a Unity Park protest organized by local progressive groups as part of a national day of action to honor the late John Lewis

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.

Titled "Good Trouble Lives On," organizers said the rallies will take place all over the country on National John Lewis Day of Action. According to organizers, the rallies are also in honor of the legacy of the late Congressman, who often called on his supporters to make "good trouble, necessary trouble."

The protests took place on the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights icon John Lewis. The former congressman coined the phrase "good trouble" to describe peaceful protests challenging civil rights infringements, and organizers say the upcoming demonstrations will carry on this legacy.

The Good Trouble Lives On protests on July 17 follow similar protests across the U.S., dubbed No Kings, in June.

The late Civil Rights activist John Lewis used the term "good trouble" to define peaceful and nonviolent methods to denounce injustice.

Hundreds of protesters gathered at Cleveland’s Market Square on Thursday for “Good Trouble Lives On” Day of Action. The rowdy but peaceful group hoisted upside-down American flags and “No Kings” signs as they chanted and cheered together before marching toward the Hope Memorial Bridge.
