Protesters gathered in parts of Maryland on Thursday to commemorate the life of civil rights activist John Lewis and to protest actions and policies from the Trump administration.

Civil rights activist and Georgia Congressman John Lewis was known for saying he got into "good trouble" by using peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice. Now, in 1,600 cities and towns across the country, protesters are planning to make similar "good trouble" on July 17, the fifth anniversary of Lewis' death.

Tens of thousands across the US are set to join the "Good Trouble Lives On" protests on Thursday, with demonstrations planned at more than 1,600 locations to oppose President Donald Trump's policies on immigration,
