What People Are Saying

Organizers, on the Good Trouble Lives On website: "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, disappearance 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."

Allison Pulliam and Christine Wood, co-directors of the Declaration for American Democracy Coalition, in a statement in June that Lewis "taught us the power of people coming together for peaceful collective action. This is our moment to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis and pass it forward to future generations.

"Whether you're outraged by attacks on our civil rights, the gutting of essential services, disappearances of our neighbors or the assault on free speech and our right to organize, we invite you to join us on July 17th in making Good Trouble."

What Happens Next

According to a host toolkit for organizers, the protests are demanding that Congress "protect out rights and ensure free and fair elections for all."

The protests are demanding an end to "the extreme crackdown on civil rights by the Trump administration," "the attacks on Black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities" and "the slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security," the toolkit says.
