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

Boston hosts 'Good Trouble' rallies honoring John Lewis, addressing various social justice issues, with a rally at Copley Square moving to Boston Common.

The gatherings invoked the Civil Rights leader’s memory while offering another venue for groups protesting the Trump administration this year.

Titled "Good Trouble Lives On," organizers said the rallies will take place all over the country on National John Lewis Day of Action. According to organizers, the rallies are also in honor of the legacy of the late Congressman, who often called on his supporters to make "good trouble, necessary trouble."
