“Good Trouble” Protest in Idaho Falls

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) — Thursday morning 77 protestors gathered at the Broadway Bridge in downtown Idaho Falls as part of the nationwide “Good Trouble” movement. The protest was organized by 50501 (50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement), the same organization that planned the “No Kings” protests in June.
The protests are honoring the legacy of civil rights leader John Lewis. Lewis was famously quoted for saying “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, to help redeem the soul of America.”
Protestors brought signs, majority containing anti Trump messages. Others had signs going against ICE raids happening across the country, fighting for woman’s rights, and power corruption. The protestors lined up right up against the Broadway Bridge on both sides.
Most of the cars that drove by honked in support of the protestors. There were no counter protests at any point throughout the 2 hour protest.
