Hunger strikers for voting rights arrested at the US Capitol

Reverend Stephen A. Green and Joceline Garcia lead a group of faith leaders and students on hunger strike sit on the steps of the Senate chamber at the US Capitol in a civil disobedience action for voting rights. They are demanding 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.
