In honor of civil rights activist John Lewis, citizens peacefully protest against Trump during a Good Trouble Lives On demonstration in Pensacola.

Titled "Good Trouble Lives On," organizers said the rallies will take place all over the country on National John Lewis Day of Action. According to organizers, the rallies are also in honor of the legacy of the late Congressman, who often called on his supporters to make "good trouble, necessary trouble."

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

"It's vastly greater than what we had anticipated," an organizer said about an event to honor former Representative John Lewis.

The protests took place on the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights icon John Lewis. The former congressman coined the phrase "good trouble" to describe peaceful protests challenging civil rights infringements, and organizers say the upcoming demonstrations will carry on this legacy.

The late Civil Rights activist John Lewis used the term "good trouble" to define peaceful and nonviolent methods to denounce injustice.
