Lewis' influence and philosophy to engage in "good trouble, necessary trouble," is the backbone of the latest round of nationwide protests against President Donald Trump's administration, called Good Trouble Lives On.

The protests were slated to take place on Thursday, July 17, the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights champion and Congressman John Lewis, who popularized the concept of "Good Trouble," referring to non-violent civil disobedience.
