DC Peace Walk for voting rights with MLK family

Joseline Garcia, a co-founder of UN-PAC, speaks with a reporter about the group's hunger strike for voting rights at the DC Peace Walk. She and the protesters behind her are on day 5 of their second hunger strike for the right to vote. UN-PAC is a youth organization that supports the Freedom to Vote Act. Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, and Yolanda Renee King and other civil rights leaders joined the Peace Walk this year to march for voting rights. The Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge was chosen as the walk's location to emphasize the message that if Congress can create an exception to the filibuster to pass the infrastructure bill, it can do the same for voting rights legislation. The Senate is expected to vote later in the week on the Freedom to Vote and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Acts. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
