Over 400 Protests Against Trump Admin Scheduled to Take Place Nationwide on July 17
Over 400 protests are scheduled to take place in all 50 states against President Donald Trump and his administration on July 17.
The rallies, being called “Good Trouble Lives On,” will take place on the anniversary of the death of Democrat activist and congressman John Lewis. It is a nod to his famous call to action, “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble,” which he used to encourage people to participate in protests.
As with many other recent nationwide days of protest, including the now-infamous “No Kings” day, it is being organized by the 50501 Movement.
The 50501 Movement’s name stands for “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement.” It is self-described as being led by people who “have been on the front lines of justice, marching in support of Black Lives Matter, women’s rights, LGBTQ+ advocacy, and disability rights.”
According to the group’s website, “Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration. Together, we’ll remind them that in America, the power lies with the people.”
Dozens of liberal organizations are also partnering with and endorsing the protests, including Black Voters Matter, the League of Women Voters, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Women’s March, the American Civil Liberties Union, and Greenpeace.
Medicaid cuts, attacks on trans people, immigration raids in our hospitals — these are all attempts to rule by fear. Join nurses and our allies for a day of action on July 17 to show the strength of our communities. #GoodTroubleLivesOn

According to a report from Newsweek, Allison Pulliam and Christine Wood, co-directors of the Declaration for American Democracy Coalition, said in a statement last month 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.”
