TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) - More than 20 people gathered at the Florida Capitol to join the nationwide protest ‘Good Trouble Lives On.’ Many are in attendance to protest against President Donald Trump’s mass deportations, cuts to Medicaid and other cuts to safety nets for low-income people.

From the streets of downtown Orlando to the corners of Deland, Altamonte Springs, Mount Dora, and Melbourne, hundreds of protesters gathered for yet another demonstration.

The event was one in an ongoing series of protests against President Donald Trump, this one on the anniversary of civil rights icon John Lewis' death.

Activists who organized the protest advocated that those in attendance consider employing civil disobedience in response to Florida's controversial new immigration detention centers.

Nearly 50 protests are scheduled across Florida July 17, 2025, in response to 'civil and human attacks' made by Trump administration, organizers say.

About 100 people gathered Thursday outside Orlando City Hall to protest the policies of the Trump administration as part of the nationwide “Good Trouble Lives On” demonstrations.

Activists rallied, waved signs and greeted motorists while gathered on the evening of Thursday, July 17, 2025 at the intersection of U.S. 41 and Colonial Boulevard in Fort Myers. Participants were part of the “Good Trouble” national day of action to honor the legacy of civil rights icon John Lewis.
