Protests and events against President Donald Trump’s controversial policies were held at more than 1,600 locations around the country Thursday. The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action was held in honor of the late Congressman John Lewis.

It is the latest in coordinated protests against the policies of the Trump administration

Dozens gathered Thursday in the Blue Water Area to honor John Lewis and protest policies they say threaten democracy and human rights.

Thursday marked five years since the death of civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis, which is why the movement was held that day. The Good Trouble Lives On organization said Lewis coined the phrase "Good Trouble" to describe coming together for peaceful action against injustice.

Organizers will call for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and other voting rights legislation.

Two events in West Palm and others near Boynton and Delray Beach will protest Trump's policies and honor the late John Lewis.
