Hunger strikers for voting rights arrested at the US Capitol

Rev. Stephen A. Green of New York City walks past a barrier and enters the plaza as he leads a group of faith leaders and students on hunger strike in a civil disobedience action for voting rights at the Capitol. The hunger strikers demand passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect the right to vote. This is a result of the passage of voting restriction laws in 19 states in the last year. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
