Tens of thousands of people are expected to protest the Trump administration again on Thursday, the fifth anniversary of the death of civil rights leader and former congressman John Lewis.
Why it matters: Lewis missed President Trump's 2017 inauguration and was one of the most vocal critics of his first administration.
By the numbers: 56,000 people RSVP'd for more than 1,500 events across the country as of Friday, organizers said.
Zoom in: Dozens of gatherings are planned in southeast Michigan, including one in East English Village from 5-8pm at 16835 E. Warren Ave.
What they're saying: "Good Trouble Lives On is a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration," the protest website said.
- "Together, we'll remind them that in America, the power lies with the people."
The other side: "Nearly 80 million Americans gave President Trump a historic mandate to Make America Great Again and he is delivering on that promise in record time," White House spokesperson Liz Huston said in a statement.
State of play: Anti-Trump administration protests since January have retained their momentum, including Tesla Takedown in March, Hands Off! and 50501 in April, May Day, No Kings in June, and Free America on Independence Day.
