More than 1,000 people took to the streets on Thursday as they participated in a series of “Good Trouble” protests across Montgomery County, demonstrating against the Trump administration.

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

The protests took place on the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights icon John Lewis. The former congressman coined the phrase "good trouble" to describe peaceful protests challenging civil rights infringements, and organizers say the upcoming demonstrations will carry on this legacy.

Tens of thousands are expected across the country at "Good Trouble" demonstrations honoring civil rights icon John Lewis and protesting Trump policies.

There are over 1,500 protests scheduled nationwide for "Good Trouble Lives On." "Good Trouble Lives On" protests are scheduled for July 17. "Good trouble" is a term coined by the late U.S. Rep. John Lewis,
