17:06Now PlayingSeveral voting rights activists were arrested on Capitol Hill after marching for Brothers Day of action.
This comes one week after Black women leaders were arrested during a march to the U.S. Senate to protest restrictive voting legislation. The demonstration, being held by several key groups including Black Voters Matter, was part of a rallying cry by Black and Democratic legislators to protect the right to free and fair elections. More than 40 groups, many led by Black women, stood in the nation’s capital to urge members of Congress to pass the For the People Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. The groups want these bills to override a wave of voting bills in Republican-led states meant to tighten access to the ballot box.
