The protests were slated to take place on Thursday, July 17, the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights champion and Congressman John Lewis, who popularized the concept of "Good Trouble," referring to non-violent civil disobedience.

More than 200 rallied in Fort Myers to honor John Lewis and protest what they see as threats to civil and human rights.

Organizers said the protests were a direct response to what they characterize as the Trump administration’s “brazen rollback” of civil and human rights.
