BEMIDJI 鈥� will host a "Good Trouble" and "Stop the Hate" rally starting at 2 p.m. on Saturday, July 19, at Paul Bunyan Park.

This is the fifth such Indivisible Bemidji rally in the city since April, aimed at speaking out against the Trump administration.

"United States House Representative John Lewis coined the phrase 'Good Trouble' to describe his peaceful protest against inequality and injustice," a release said. "Lewis died five years ago, and in honor of his efforts and in light of the current inequality, unfairness and injustice being instigated and done by the Trump administration, we will be gathering at the Bemidji waterfront area to show our patriotic support for our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the land of the free and the home of the brave."

Rally participants are encouraged to bring signs that address a wide range of topics. Participants are also encouraged to bring flags.

Those with questions about the upcoming peaceful assembly can contact event organizer Ken Grantier at (218) 556 2571.

This is a national day of protest. For more information on the national Good Trouble Lives On protest, visit
