Protests Mark John Lewis Anniversary Nationwide

Hundreds joined 'Good Trouble Lives On' protests across the United States, marking the fifth anniversary of civil rights icon John Lewis’s passing and opposing the Trump administration’s policies. Major demonstrations took place in cities including Orlando, Richmond, Ann Arbor, Spokane, Lakeland, and St. Petersburg. Protesters voiced concerns over mass deportations, cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, attacks on voting rights, and the opening of the 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention facility in Florida. Organized primarily by Indivisible chapters, the protests called for ongoing activism and collective action to defend democracy and civil rights. While most events were peaceful, some saw civil exchanges with counter-protesters, reflecting continued civic engagement. The movement spotlights widespread grassroots resistance to policies perceived as undermining justice and equality.
