On the Treasure Coast, three "Good Trouble Lives On" protests occurred in Port St. Lucie, Stuart and Vero Beach. Over 1,600 protests were scheduled for July 17, and on the Treasure Coast, hundreds demonstrated.

Hundreds attended protests in Santa Cruz County as part of “Good Trouble Lives On,” a national day of action that organizers said were in response to attacks on civil and human rights

One protestor, Jim Clark, said he's been attending rallies since the beginning of the year. He said he attended Thursday in response to the defunding of the USAID and the resulting food waste, and funding cuts to public media like NPR. Clark said he protests for the sake of his children and grandchildren.
