Blockades of streets around Capitol in protest for Democratic agenda

A protester with CODEPINK advocates for funding living wages instead of the US defense budget during the Deadline for Democracy protest at the US Capitol. For this event, a number of social justice organization in the Washington, DC area collaborated to shut down access to the Capitol as a means of pressuring Congress to act on key pieces of the Democratic agenda.
