White House Protest
Left-wing activists fighting for nationalization of the elections[1] were issued citations "for obstructing traffic" and released.[2]
From a Press release:
- Voting rights activists escalated demands for the White House to act on voting rights today, in an action that resulted in the arrests of 25 participants.
- The action comes on the eve of an anticipated vote in the Senate on the Freedom to Vote Act, and follows a previous demonstration at the White House on Oct. 5 at which five activists were arrested.
- Today’s action was led by the League of Women Voters of the United States, People for the American Way, Declaration for American Democracy, and Democracy Initiative. Participants called on President Biden to use the influence of his office to get the Freedom to Vote Act passed in the Senate. Danton Whitley and members of the Baltimore Urban Inspiration Choir performed at the event.
Jana Morgan of the Declaration for American Democracy received a citation for blocking pedestrian traffic.
