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

The nationwide protests are in response to the Trump administration’s efforts to undermine civil rights and democratic institutions, organizers say.

"Good Trouble Lives On" protests will be taking place across the country on Thursday, including in Central Florida. Nearly 50 Florida cities are expected to host the national day of action protests in response to "the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration.
