Across the country, protesters rallied on Thursday under a shared refrain inspired by former congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis: “Good trouble lives on.” Thousands of people took to the streets in what organizers cast as a national day of action — a sweeping protest of the Trump administration’s cuts to safety net programs and efforts to roll back protections for immigrants and marginalized communities.

Protests and events against President Donald Trump’s controversial policies were held at more than 1,600 locations around the country Thursday. The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action was held in honor of the late Congressman John Lewis.

More than 1,000 people took to the streets on Thursday as they participated in a series of “Good Trouble” protests across Montgomery County, demonstrating against the Trump administration.

“Good Trouble” rallies are coming to Boston and other Massachusetts cities on Thursday, July 17, in protest of the Trump administration, according to the Indivisible Mass Coalition.

National organizers of the “Good Trouble Lives On” protests said more than 1,500 events took place across the country Thursday, pushing back against what they described as the Trump administration’s “most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations.

Republican Chair Keith Brin said in a text Friday that Trump’s legislation and actions were part of the fulfillment of campaign promises.
