The protests will be held on the fifth anniversary of the death of Rep. John Lewis, who was the last surviving member of the Big Six, which helped organize the 1963 March on Washington.

The theme of the July 17 protests will be "Good Trouble Lives On," a nod to Lewis’ quote: “Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America.”

"We're going to make good trouble because good trouble lives on, and we will not stop until we win this fight," said Barbara R. Arnwine, president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. "No kings, no tyrants, no despots, and we've got to always have good trouble. So we are determined that on July 17, we're asking all of you—each and every one of you—to turn out and host events in your city."

I'm not sure about that name, it's too long. No Kings II is still my vote.

Incidentally, I like long names AND your idea. I'll think of it as:

No Kings II: Good Trouble Lives On

Hey, I'll be there too! Nice that you livestream it! Wow!

To be clear, I just list the live streams, I'm not taking any.

See you there maybe!

Edit: Also, I like your idea the best. It's longer when you see it, so you know it's different, but it's still a No Kings event.
