Hundreds of protesters lined Grand River Avenue in downtown Howell during the nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On" protests July 17.

Protests and events against President Donald Trump’s controversial policies were held at more than 1,600 locations around the country Thursday. The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action was held in honor of the late Congressman John Lewis.

"It's vastly greater than what we had anticipated," an organizer said about an event to honor former Representative John Lewis.

Dozens gathered Thursday in the Blue Water Area to honor John Lewis and protest policies they say threaten democracy and human rights.
