Activists that organized the protest advocated that those in attendance consider employing civil disobedience in response to Florida’s controversial new immigration detention centers.

More than 150 people gathered in Fred Cone Park in east Gainesville in honor of the late U.S. Congressman John Lewis.

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.
