This new wave of protests, called “Good Trouble Lives On”, is named after the late civil rights activist and U.S. Congressman John Lewis.
“Good Trouble” is a phrase coined by Lewis to represent individuals coming together to peacefully fight against injustice. July 17 also marks the five-year anniversary of Lewis’ passing.
Organizers say it is also a chance for protesters to speak up against the migrant detention facility in the Everglades, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz.
These protests are organized by the 50501 Movement, the same group who started the No Kings protests back in May.
