Protest against expected Congressional override of Washington, DC’s revised criminal code

People carry one of the lead banners at a protest against Congress’s likely vote to overturn the first revision of Washington, DC’s criminal code in more than 100 years. The controversy stems from two issues: autonomy for the District of Columbia and changes in sentencing guidelines. In voting not to approve the bill, Congress will override the decision of DC’s duly elected officials, who represent a population that is almost half African-American.
