100 Arrested in D.C. at Poor People’s Campaign’s Women’s Moral March

HeadlineJul 20, 2021

In Washington, D.C., over 100 women were arrested Monday outside the Supreme Court during a protest calling for voting rights and economic justice. Those arrested included the Reverend Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, who helped organize the Women’s Moral March.

Rev. Liz Theoharis: “We are all too aware that the extremist politicians who are suppressing and stealing our ability to vote are the same politicians who deny living wages, refuse to expand healthcare, exploit immigrants and LGBTQIA people and women. And so we march.”
