While they commemorated the anniversary of Lewis’s death, they also served as protests against the policies of the new Trump administration.

Hundreds of protesters demonstrated against President Donald Trump and his administration’s policies in the Loop on Thursday as part of nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On” rallies.

Rob Eller, pastor of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in New Philadelphia, said change rarely comes from playing it safe; it comes from speaking out.

A protest dubbed the "Make Good Trouble Rally" in honor of late U.S. Rep. John Lewis is planned for Chicago Thursday in Daley Plaza to oppose President Trump and his policies.
