Organizers plan demonstrations on July 17 to honor Rep. John Lewis, focusing on racial justice, voting rights, and strengthening democracy across the nation.

Organizers of the No Kings protests say they plan to continue another round of demonstrations on July 17. They state that more than 2,000 demonstrations were held throughout the United States on Saturday, objecting to President Donald Trump's policies.

The protests will be held on the fifth anniversary of the death of Rep. John Lewis, who was the last surviving member of the Big Six, which helped organize the 1963 March on Washington.

The theme of the July 17 protests will be "Good Trouble Lives On," a nod to Lewis’ quote: “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America.”

"We're going to make good trouble because good trouble lives on, and we will not stop until we win this fight," said Barbara R. Arnwine, president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. "No kings, no tyrants, no despots, and we've got to always have good trouble. So we are determined that on July 17, we're asking all of you—each and every one of you—to turn out and host events in your city."

2. July 17th marks 5 years since the death of John Lewis, who coined the phrase "Good Trouble"

I was blessed to hear John Lewis tell his preaching to chickens story four times in person. I have several copies of his books signed by him. I still remember Congressman Lewis walking into a seminar at the 2016 national convention next to Kareem. The height difference was amusing. It was a great seminar and I really admire Kareem

I still remember when Congressman Al Green introduced me to Congressman Lewis as a voting rights attorney and I got to shake his hand. BTW, I do corporate law but volunteer on voter protection efforts. My kids still laugh at this.

I have several copies of two of the volumes of his graphic novel signed by John Lewis.
