Washington, June 6 (RHC)-- Dozens of people have been arrested in civil disobedience protests in cities across the United States during a national day of action for the new Poor People’s Campaign.
Thousands of low-wage workers, clergy and community activists participated in sit-ins, marches and rallies, calling on lawmakers to guarantee healthcare and a healthy environment for all.
In Washington, D.C., 28 people were arrested in the Capitol Rotunda while protesting the disproportionate impact of disasters such as Hurricane Maria on the poor. In Topeka, Kansas, 16 people were arrested as they demanded Medicaid expansion at the state Capitol building.
