Why It Matters
The upcoming protests follow other nationwide demonstrations against the Trump administration organized by the 50501 Movement (50 protests, 50 states, one movement) and other groups since Trump returned to office in January.
Millions of people took to the streets for "No Kings" protests on June 14, targeting a military parade in Washington marking the Army's 250th anniversary that coincided with Trump's 79th birthday. Over Fourth of July weekend, "Free America" events were held across the country in protest of Trump's policies.

What People Are Saying
Organizers, on the Good Trouble Lives On website: "We are facing the most brazen rollback of civil rights in generations. Whether you're outraged by attacks on voting rights, the gutting of essential services, disappearance of our neighbors, or the assault on free speech and our right to protest—this movement is for you.
"Trump is trying to divide us but we know the power of coming together."
Allison Pulliam and Christine Wood, co-directors of the Declaration for American Democracy Coalition, in a statement in June that Lewis "taught us the power of people coming together for peaceful collective action. This is our moment to carry the torch, continue the legacy of John Lewis and pass it forward to future generations.
"Whether you're outraged by attacks on our civil rights, the gutting of essential services, disappearances of our neighbors or the assault on free speech and our right to organize, we invite you to join us on July 17th in making Good Trouble."
What Happens Next
According to a host toolkit for organizers, the protests are demanding that Congress "protect out rights and ensure free and fair elections for all."
The protests are demanding an end to "the extreme crackdown on civil rights by the Trump administration," "the attacks on Black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities" and "the slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security," the toolkit says.

Key Issue Turning Americans Against Trump, CNN Data Shows
CNN's chief data analyst Harry Enten on Monday used just one word to sum up Americans' souring views on Donald Trump's handling of immigration. 'Oof!' said Enten in a segment with CNN's Kate Bolduan. Enten pointed to five separate polls from mid to late June showing the president's net approval rating (percent approval minus percent disapproval) on immigration ranging from -7 (Fox) to -27 (Gallup). He described the range of Trump's net approval ratings as 'bad to just downright terrible.' 'The American people have turned against President Donald Trump on what was his best issue,' Enten said. The segment comes just over a month after Enten spotted how Trump's net approval rating on immigration had shot 'up like a rocket' when comparing polling from early June to data from June 2017. The president's aggressive immigration policies have intensified over the course of his second term, with massive raids of legal cannabis farms in California last week — one of which saw a worker fall from a roof, later dying from his injuries, as hundreds of others were arrested. Enten, when asked if there are signs that the polling trend is affecting Trump's overall net approval rating, turned to how the president's net approval rating with Hispanics dropped by double digits over the past few months. In February, Trump was doing 'pretty gosh darn good for a Republican' as his net approval rating with Hispanics sat at -2, per polling from CBS News/YouGov. By June, less than a year after his 'historic performance' with Hispanic voters in the fall, that figure fell to -26, per Enten. 'Now he's basically back where he was during his first term, which is quite a low approval rating, one which has brought his overall approval rating down amongst the entire electorate,' Enten explained. The data analyst went on to point to how Immigration and Customs Enforcement's net approval rating went from averaging 0 during Trump's first term to reaching -17 last month. He added that the immigration crackdowns haven't just brought Trump down, but they've brought ICE 'down with him.'

Judge says Trump administration can't use travel ban to keep 80 refugees out of the U.S.
A federal judge barred the Trump administration from using its ban on travelers from some countries to keep 80 already-vetted refugees from entering the United States. In a decision late Monday, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead in Seattle said President Trump's June order banning the entry of people from 12 countries 'expressly states' that it does not limit the ability of people to seek refugee status. 'In other words, by its plain terms, the Proclamation excludes refugees from its scope,' the judge wrote. Barring refugees from entering the U.S. would limit their ability to seek refugee status and therefore run counter to the Republican president's order, the judge said. He ordered the administration to immediately resume processing 80 'presumptively protected refugees' that were rejected based on the travel ban. The State Department did not immediately have comment Tuesday. Whitehead also set out a framework for the government to vet refugees from the countries covered by the travel ban and other countries who were denied entry when the president suspended the nation's refugee admissions program within hours of taking office on Jan. 20. The decision left thousands of refugees who had already gone through a sometimes years-long vetting process to start new lives in America stranded at various locations around the world, including relatives of active-duty U.S. military personnel and more than 1,600 Afghans who assisted America's war efforts. Some individual refugees sued, along with refugee aid organizations who said the administration froze their funding. They later asked the judge to make the case a class-action lawsuit so that the rulings could apply to other refugees facing similar circumstances. In May, Whitehead said the suspension likely amounted to a nullification of congressional will, since Congress created and funded the refugee admissions program. He issued a preliminary injunction in February barring the federal government from suspending refugee processing and refugee aid funding. But the 9th U.S. Circuit put most of that decision on hold in March, finding the administration was likely to win the case because the president has broad authority to determine who is allowed to enter the country.

Watch live: State Department official testifies before Senate on 2026 budget request
Deputy Secretary of State Michael Rigas will testify before the House Foreign Affairs Committee Tuesday afternoon on the State Department's fiscal 2026 budget request. The hearing comes just days after the Trump administration began its plan to layoff 1,300 employees amid its reorganization efforts. The decision has drawn criticism from Democrats and former diplomats alike that say the move risks national security. 'For the State Department to become an effective instrument of American Foreign policy, we must reform and streamline our institution,' Rigas, who handles management and resources, said in his prepared testimony. The hearing also follows the dismantling of the U.S. Agency of International Development (USAID) earlier this month. The actions come as part of the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) efforts — with the support of President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — to cut down on ' waste, fraud and abuse ' within the federal workforce. The event is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT.
