InstagramItsallphoenix on Instagram: "Thousands of Arizonans took to the streets this week as part of the nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On” protests — honoring the late John Lewis and pushing back on President Trump’s immigration crackdown, social program cuts, and what many describe as threats to democracy. From Tucson to Phoenix to Sedona, more than 30 protests were held across the state. Demonstrators carried signs reading: ✊ “Unmask ICE – No Secret Police” ✊ “Doing nothing is not an option: Resist!” ✊ “We’re all children of immigrants” At the Arizona Capitol, state parks, busy intersections, and ICE offices, participants highlighted issues like civil rights, LGBTQ+ protections, and migrant dignity. One protester summed it up: “By defending the weakest among us, we defend ourselves.” These protests, which began after Lewis’s passing in 2020, have grown larger every year — fueled by what organizers call rising authoritarianism. ⸻ 💭 Do you think protests like these are still an effective way to bring about meaningful political change in today’s America? ⸻ #GoodTrouble #ArizonaProtests #JohnLewis #CivilRights #Phoenix #Tucson #itsallphoenix"250 likes, 112 comments - itsallphoenix3 on July 17, 2025: "Thousands of Arizonans took to the streets this week as part of the nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On” protests — honoring the late John Lewis and pushing back on President Trump’s immigration crackdown, social program cuts, and what many describe as threats to democracy.

InstagramIndivisible Chesco on Instagram: "Thank you to everyone who came out to get into some "Good Trouble" last night in West Chester! From Heather Cox Richardson: "Before Representative Lewis died, reporter Jonathan Capehart asked him “what he would say to people who feel as though they have already been giving it their all but nothing seems to change.” Lewis answered: “You must be able and prepared to give until you cannot give any more. We must use our time and our space on this little planet that we call Earth to make a lasting contribution, to leave it a little better than we found it, and now that need is greater than ever before.” That is what happened last evening, and what we will continue to do #indivisiblechesco #indivisible #indivisiblepa #goodtrouble"39 likes, 0 comments - indivisiblechesco on July 18, 2025: "Thank you to everyone who came out to get into some "Good Trouble" last night in West Chester!

Columbus #Ohio says:

"HUGE thank you to everyone who showed up and came out to protest in honor of John Lewis. And another thanks to our AMAZING speakers! We focused on community, something John Lewis held dear to his heart and conscious. Give them a follow and show your support!

"As always, our full list of community mutual aid organizations can be found in the link in our bio!"

Mutual aid is resistance too, so a lot of protests include it.

The Paramus #NewJersey Visibility Brigade hit the streets instead of their usual overpass with the message "BE BRAVE WITH US."

They say: "#bebravewithus is a tremendous call to action and something that we can say to each other with love in our hearts. The second part of the message is: '..and we will stand with you. 'That’s really what this is all about ultimately - that we regain our sense of connection and community and love... against fascism."
