Nationwide protests planned against Trump’s immigration crackdown and health care cuts
July 16, 2025
Protests and events against President Donald Trump’s controversial policies that include mass deportations and cuts to Medicaid and other safety nets for poor people are planned at more than 1,600 locations around the country. Organizers of the “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action in honor of the late Congressman John Lewis say that more than 163,000 people have confirmed plans to participate, but that they expect turnout into the “hundreds of thousands.” The protests are expected to be held along streets, at court houses and other public spaces. Organizers are calling for them to be peaceful. The phrase “Good Trouble” was coined by the late congressman who helped lead civil rights protest marches in the 1960s.
