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.

Across the country, protesters rallied on Thursday under a shared refrain inspired by former congressman and civil rights icon John Lewis: “Good trouble lives on.” Thousands of people took to the streets in what organizers cast as a national day of action — a sweeping protest of the Trump administration’s cuts to safety net programs and efforts to roll back protections for immigrants and marginalized communities.

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