A person holds a sign at a street intersection with the phrase “GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON” written in colorful letters next to a peace sign made of flowers. The sign is bordered in red, white, and blue with stars, resembling the American flag. In the background, a street sign reads “McBean Pkwy” and a white van waits at a red light.

Protesters in cities across the nation gather for a day of action to honor the legacy of a civil rights icon, with hundreds in attendance.

“Somebody that we can admire and inspire us to do what we’re doing,” said Ingrid, Executive Director and Founder, Indivisible CA27.

That inspiration is the late Congressman John Lewis, the prominent civil rights leader known for his pivotal role in leading nonviolent protests against social and racial injustices. 

“The words and leadership of Martin Luther King Jr inspired me to find a way to get in the way, and I got in trouble, good trouble, necessary trouble,” said Congressman John Lewis.

In an Axios interview, President Trump expressed his feelings on Lewis’s civil rights legacy to his own. 

He didn’t come to my State of the Union speeches, and that’s okay. That’s his right. And again, nobody has done more for black Americans than I have,” said President Trump.

According to Ingrid, the organizer of Indivisible, CA 27, the Good Trouble Lives On Rally is necessary.

“We organize so that we have an actual fair election in 2026,” said Ingrid.

“We are the people of the USA. You gotta understand, don’t care if you’re red, white or blue. We’re all American, and we can,” sings musician Andrew Kingkabelo.
