Citizens unhappy with the Trump administration’s policies are once again gathering for protests — this time on the fifth anniversary of a civil rights icon’s death.
Here’s a look at what’s happening on Thursday.
What does ‘Good Trouble Lives On’ mean?
The phrase being used for this series of protests adopts a phrase commonly used by former House Representative John Lewis. He insisted it was important to engage in “good trouble, necessary trouble” to achieve positive social change.
Lewis died on July 17, 2020, and organizers asked his family’s permission to use his name with this week’s protests to honor his legacy in the civil rights movement.
