Protesters to head back to bridge

BASTROP — The next chapter of nonviolent protest will unfold on the Bastrop Bridge this week as organizers join a national movement marking the anniversary of U.S. Rep. John Lewis’ death.

Good Trouble Lives On is a nationwide day of action honoring Lewis’ legacy. The Bastrop demonstration, hosted by the Coalition of Democratic Allies, will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, July 17, atop the Colorado River pedestrian bridge.

Organizers said the protest responds to what they call growing threats to civil and human rights.
