The Good Trouble Lives On protests on July 17 follow similar protests across the U.S., dubbed No Kings, in June.

Denver police closed roads near the state Capitol on Thursday night during a demonstration against President Donald Trump’s policies, including mass deportations and Medicaid cuts.

Titled "Good Trouble Lives On," organizers said the rallies will take place all over the country on National John Lewis Day of Action. According to organizers, the rallies are also in honor of the legacy of the late Congressman, who often called on his supporters to make "good trouble, necessary trouble."

Residents included Oklahoma City in a nationwide anti-Trump protest effort, which honors the death of civil rights activist John Lewis.

One protestor, Jim Clark, said he's been attending rallies since the beginning of the year. He said he attended Thursday in response to the defunding of the USAID and the resulting food waste, and funding cuts to public media like NPR. Clark said he protests for the sake of his children and grandchildren.
