DALLAS - People are expected to protest in North Texas on Thursday and across the country. The demonstrators will be honoring the legacy of the late Congressman John Lewis, who fought for civil and human rights. Lewis coined the term "good trouble." It’s a message many Americans have been inspired by for decades, and the message that has inspired the organizers of a planned non-violent demonstration.

The rallies are also a response to what organizers said are attacks by the Trump administration on civil and human rights. With inspiration from Congressman Lewis, their message is "the power lies in the hands of the people." Civil rights protests are being held across the United States, including North Texas, on Thursday. Civil rights protests are being held across the United States on July 17, five years after the death of civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis. Thursday marks five years since Lewis's death. In his early 20s, he emerged as one of the nation’s top civil rights leaders alongside Dr.

Martin Luther King Jr. His quote, "Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America,” still inspires many Americans. July 17 has been marked as “Good Trouble Lives On Day," and people across the country, including here in North Texas, will gather for peaceful protests. Fort Worth will be one of dozens of cities across the country that will be the site of a protest against attacks on civil and human rights Thursday, July 17, to honor the legacy... Good Trouble Lives On is a national event of peaceful, nonviolent action in remembrance of Lewis, who died five years ago on July 17. His quote,”Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America,” still inspires many Americans.

Lewis was born in Alabama and became a congressman in Georgia in 1987, serving until his death in 2020. He participated in the 1960 Nashville sit-ins, was a Freedom Rider, served as chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and helped organize the March on Washington in 1963. Protests will occur in various cities, including Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. Twenty organizations from Tarrant County will be at Burk Burnett Park, 501 W. 7th St., to share their voices and perspectives. There will be speakers, music, snacks, voter registration booths and other activities.

Coined by civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis, "Good Trouble" is the action of coming together to take peaceful, non-violent action to challenge injustice and create meaningful change. The civil rights leaders of the past have shown us the power of collective action. That’s why on July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice,... Another national pro-democracy, anti-fascism rally is planned. In Fort Worth, it will be 6-8pm Thu at Burk Burnett Park downtown (501 W 7th St).

Taking place on the 5-year anniversary of the death of legendary Civil Rights warrior and U.S. Congressmember John Lewis, and named after his famous mantra, Good Trouble Lives On will not be a protest per se. It’s said to be more of a rally for democracy and anti-authoritarianism. Indivisible Texas-12, Indivisible Fort Worth, Tarrant County Young Democrats, Tarrant County AFL-CIO, LULAC, Funkytown Fridge, Cowtown Democrats, and many more progressive groups are slated to participate. Since good trouble is great and impactful action is even better, Good Trouble Lives On will also offer ways to “advocate for policies that protect our communities,” say organizers. Since most of the left’s rage is directed toward the current occupant of the White House, maybe MAGA will join in the march.

They appear to be just as pissed as progressives over the disappearance of the Epstein files. Republican legislators just voted unanimously to keep the files secret while every Dem pol voted for them to become public. MAGA thinks Epstein’s list is going to implicate every famous, powerful liberal, from Bill Clinton to Tom Hanks, while progressives know better. They know the Epstein files could quite possibly include the name of the infamous New York real estate mogul who flew on the financier’s plane seven times and called him a great pal. Whatever you do Thursday evening at Burnett Park, do not engage the counterprotesting fascists or any fascist cops. Chaos is what they want.

Chaos will allow the orange guy who lusts after his own daughter and was found liable of sexual abuse to declare martial law and suspend the midterms. Always keep that in mind. — Anthony Mariani A version of this story originally appeared in last week’s issue.
