10:54Now PlayingMore than 400 people were arrested Monday in a massive sitin on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to protest the influence of big money and corporate lobbying in politics. The protest, organized under the name Democracy Spring, brought together activists from about 140 organizations who marched from Philadelphia to Washington last week. Similar acts of civil disobedience are scheduled throughout the week in Washington. We speak to Kai Newkirk, campaign director of Democracy Spring and cofounder and an organizer with 99Rise. He was arrested yesterday in the action at the U.S. Capitol.
