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.

"Good Trouble Lives On" protests will be taking place across the country on Thursday, including in Central Florida. Nearly 50 Florida cities are expected to host the national day of action protests in response to "the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration.

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.

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.

"Good Trouble Lives On" was the third protest of President Trump's policies that Nan Reiner has attended this year. The Palm Beach County resident says his administration is changing the nation she had come to know over 69 years.

The “Good Trouble Lives On” national day of action honors the late congressman and civil rights leader John Lewis. Protests are expected to be held along streets, at courthouses and other public spaces. Organizers are calling for them to be peaceful.
