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

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

Demonstrators have taken to the streets across multiple states on Thursday to protest President Donald Trump’s Administration in a day of action honoring the late civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, with more events planned across the country in the evening.
