Anti-war protests planned in major cities after US strikes Iran

() Across the nation Thursday, “Good Trouble Lives On” protests are set to take place honoring the life of civil rights activist and longtime U.S. Rep. John Lewis.

The Democratic Georgia lawmaker was one of the most vocal critics of President Donald Trump during his first term in office and skipped his inauguration, which was the first one Lewis ever missed in his more than three decades in Congress, according to Axios.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to be part of the nationwide demonstrations, according to Axios, but spoke to the CEO of publicity firm Crowds on Demand, who says he was offered money for recruiting people to participate in the anti-Trump protests.

Adam Swart said he was offered $20 million to provide protesters for Thursday but turned that contract down.

“I’m rejecting it not because I don’t want to take the business, but because frankly, this is going to be ineffective; it’s going to make us all look bad,” Swart said.

When asked who exactly offered his firm the money to recruit people, Swart would not disclose the information because he does not talk about who exactly his clients are and that it would be “bad for business.”

Aside from believing the protests would not make a difference, Swart added that his concerns about violence unfolding at Thursday’s protests also led him to reject the contract.
