According to the ACLU, the rights of protesters and organizers are strongest in "traditional public forums," such as streets, sidewalks and parks. People have the right to speak out in front of government buildings as long as they are not blocking access or interfering with operations.

The goal is for protesters to come together to take peaceful, nonviolent action to make change and challenge injustice.

MARQUETTE COUNTY, MI— Community members in Marquette County are joining Americans nationwide Thursday to protest what they say are attacks against civil and human rights. The event “Good Trouble Lives On” will be held in honor of civil rights leader and Congressman John Lewis, who called people to make “good trouble, necessary trouble.”

Several organizations across mid-Michigan plan to participate in the nationwide resistance, John Lewis Day of Action “Good Trouble Lives On.”
