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.

On the Treasure Coast, three "Good Trouble Lives On" protests occurred in Port St. Lucie, Stuart and Vero Beach. Over 1,600 protests were scheduled for July 17, and on the Treasure Coast, hundreds demonstrated.

Across Lane County, community members participated in "Good Trouble Lives On" demonstrations, denouncing Trump administration policies.

Over 100 protestors gathered at the Missouri State Capitol on Thursday. Their reason: to partake in the John Lewis National Day of Action. In downtown St. Louis, individuals gathered at the Old Courthouse.

The protests are taking 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 of people pledged to take to the streets in what organizers have cast as a national day of action.

Organizers will call for passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and other voting rights legislation.
