The theme of the rally, one of hundreds planned across the U.S., is in tribute to the late civil rights leader John Lewis.

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."

“Good Trouble” rallies are coming to Boston and other Massachusetts cities on Thursday, July 17, in protest of the Trump administration, according to the Indivisible Mass Coalition.

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.

Salem Police closed Summer Street NE at Marion Street just before 1 p.m. July 17 due to a protest happening at the Oregon State Capitol.

Under the banner of " Good Trouble ," thousands are gathering across the country to protest against the Trump Administration. “We’re taking action across the country to defend our democracy,” reads a statement on the Good Trouble website.
