The Good Trouble protests planned nationwide July 17 got their name from Rep. John Lewis and mark the fifth anniversary of his death.

Lewis' influence and philosophy to engage in "good trouble, necessary trouble," is the backbone of the latest round of nationwide protests against President Donald Trump's administration, called Good Trouble Lives On.

The Good Trouble Lives On protests on July 17 follow similar protests across the U.S., dubbed No Kings, in June.

"Through struggle and sacrifice, I’ve learned power doesn’t come from a podium, it comes from the people," said Memphis activist Jose Salazar.

Those attending the rally are encouraged to give blood during a blood drive that day and to make a donation to the Rainbow Connection.
