The theme of the rally, one of hundreds planned across the U.S., is in tribute to the late civil rights leader John Lewis.

The "Good Trouble Lives On" rallies marked the nation's fourth wide-scale protest organized by the same coalition as June's "No Kings" protests.

The Wake County Democratic Party held a rally mainly opposing House Bill 958 at 5:30 p.m. at Halifax Mall. At 6:30 p.m., some 150 protesters marched to the state Capitol and joined about 150 others at a rally organized by the 50501 Movement and the NC Poor People’s Campaign.
