People protested in cities across the country, including Grand Rapids, Thursday as part of the “Good Trouble Lives On” movement.

Demonstrators have taken to the streets across multiple states on Thursday to protest President Donald Trump’s Administration in a day of action honoring the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, with more events planned across the country in the evening.

One protestor, Jim Clark, said he's been attending rallies since the beginning of the year. He said he attended Thursday in response to the defunding of the USAID and the resulting food waste, and funding cuts to public media like NPR. Clark said he protests for the sake of his children and grandchildren.

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."
