Trump's presidency facing challenges? Organizers of 'No Kings' protests plan another rally on THIS date
Another round of protests against Donald Trump and his administration have been planned across the United States on July 17 under the banner of Good Trouble Lives On . Organisers of the 'No Kings' Protest say they plan to continue another round of demonstrations next month. Multiple reports suggest the protests will be held on the fifth anniversary of the death of Rep. John Lewis, who was the last surviving member of the Big Six, which helped organize the 1963 March on Washington. On June 14, protests against President Trump took place in towns and cities across the US in a coordinated event titled "No Kings" which coincided with rare military parade hosted by Trump in Washington DC. The protests took place in hundreds of U.S. cities, with large-scale gatherings reported in major hubs such as Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon; and New York. According to analysis by pollster G. Elliott Morris, they were attended by an estimated 4 to 6 million people.

Good Trouble Lives on protests are being planned across multiple US cities on July 17 including the likes of New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco with attendees invited to "March in Peace, Act in Power." Live Events The theme of the July 17 protests will be "Good Trouble Lives On," a nod to Lewis' quote: 'Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America.' "We're going to make good trouble because good trouble lives on, and we will not stop until we win this fight," said Barbara R. Arnwine, president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. "No kings, no tyrants, no despots, and we've got to always have good trouble.

These aren't isolated incidents; they're part of a broader effort to delegitimize democratic norms." The protests have three main goals, according to its downloadable "Host Toolkit" for organisers. These are demanding an end to "the extreme crackdown on civil rights by the Trump administration," "the attacks on Black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities," and "the slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security," reports NewsWeek.

A series of "No Kings on Presidents Day" rallies took place on February 17 followed by "Hands Off" demonstrations in April and May criticizing federal layoffs and immigration crackdowns.
