Protests took place in downtown San Jose commemorating the fifth anniversary of John Lewis's death, organized by local activist groups. The event, labeled Good Trouble Lives On, aimed to promote activism against injustice, reflecting Lewis's idea of 'good trouble'. Participants emphasized community organization in preparation for future activism. Previous protests against Trump have drawn thousands in the Bay Area. Lewis, known for his civil rights work, encouraged proactive engagement in justice causes during his life, inspiring current activism through his legacy.
"We believe that part of making good trouble is community building and getting organized so that when the time comes to make some kind of good trouble, you have people on your side," said Tal Karsten, an organizer with 50501 San Jose.
"Speak up, speak out, get in the way, get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and help redeem the soul of America," Lewis emphasized during his public service.
