Nashville's march is included on a list of more than 1,500 "Good Trouble" protests planned to mark the anniversary of John Lewis' death.
Why it matters: Lewis was one of the most vocal critics of President Trump during his first administration. Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to speak out against the current administration at events tomorrow and in the coming days, organizers said.
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."
Zoom in: Metro Councilmember Zulfat Suara, who helped organize the march in Nashville, said it offered a chance for people to protest Trump's policies on immigrants and diversity initiatives.
- "Sixty years ago John Lewis and his peers marched through the streets of Nashville. They saw injustices in our country and they decided to take a stand," Zulfat said in a social media post.
- "This is your chance to do what they did."
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.
The big picture: Anti-Trump 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.
