Nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On” protests reignite in 50 states against Trump policies.
Thousands have taken to the streets across the United States today in the “Good Trouble Lives On” demonstrations—reigniting the spirit of John Lewis and targeting Trump-era policy rollbacks. Supported by groups like Black Voters Matter, Dems Abroad, and the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, rallies spanned all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
The movement specifically condemns Trump’s approach to Venezuelan migrant deportations and the rollback of Affordable Care Act protections, which demonstrators argue disproportionately harm marginalized communities. Organizers emphasized unity and nonviolent resistance, with the slogan “March in Peace. Act in Power” echoing across hundreds of cities.
These actions closely follow legal developments in the disputed Cecot deportations and rising healthcare policy tensions in Congress. The protests aim to pressure lawmakers ahead of critical votes in August and fuel public awareness amid the midterm cycle.
Experts suggest this coordinated civil action could influence legislative momentum and election outcomes—re-energizing grassroots mobilization feeding into the broader partisan clash.
