Trump, protest and Trouble
Digest more
Hundreds of Iowa City residents descended on City Park to honor John Lewis by making "Good Trouble" to protest President Donald Trump's policies.
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.
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 rally, held by Williamsburg JCC Indivisible and the League of Women Voters of the Williamsburg Area, was one of similar “Good Trouble Lives On” demonstrations held across the country in protest of the Trump administration. The demonstrations, named after one of Lewis’ signature quotes, coincided with the fifth anniversary of Lewis’ death.
Around three dozen people showed up in OKC to honor a civil rights icon and protest the Trump administration's policies.
