"Good Trouble Lives On" protests across the U.S. are set for July 17 to protest the Trump administration and to honor civil rights activist John Lewis.

The "Good Trouble Lives On" protests commemorate the five-year anniversary of congressman and civil rights activist John Lewis' death.

Over 1,000 "Good Trouble" protests — similar to previous No Kings protests — are scheduled for July 17, with around 60 planned across Michigan, including near County.

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

Concerned citizens around the Upper Peninsula say they honored the legacy of Congressman John Lewis by protesting the Trump administration.

According to the ACLU, the rights of protesters and organizers are strongest in "traditional public forums," such as streets, sidewalks and parks. People have the right to speak out in front of government buildings as long as they are not blocking access or interfering with operations.

The protest, called Good Trouble Lives On, marks the fifth anniversary of Lewis' death. The event pages states its a response to "attacks posed on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration," and a reminder "that in America, the power lies with the people."
