**U.S. Braces for Nationwide Protests Against Trump Policies on “Good Trouble Lives On” Day**

**Chicago, July 17, 2025 (The Hindu) -** Thousands are expected to participate in demonstrations across the United States today as part of “Good Trouble Lives On,” a national day of action honoring the legacy of the late civil rights leader John Lewis. Over 1,600 protests are planned nationwide, targeting President Donald Trump’s policies on immigration, social welfare, and the perceived rise of authoritarianism.

The protests are a direct response to what organizers call “terrifying” policies, including mass deportations, cuts to Medicaid, and the use of the National Guard in immigration raids. Organizers are calling for peaceful demonstrations in streets, courthouses, and public spaces.

Chicago is serving as the flagship city for the protests, featuring a downtown rally with a candlelight vigil to honor Lewis. Other major protests are planned in Atlanta, St. Louis, Oakland, and Annapolis.

The demonstrations follow a series of recent actions against Trump’s policies, including protests over mass arrests at Southern California marijuana farms and criticism of the deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles. The “Good Trouble Lives On” day of action aims to amplify these concerns and honor Lewis’s legacy of fighting for social justice.

“We are navigating one of the most terrifying moments in our nation’s history,” Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, a key organizer of the protests, stated during a press conference.
