New York, May 31 (RHC)-- In the United States, hundreds of people were arrested in cities across the country in nonviolent protests calling for an end to economic inequality, militarism and racial injustice, organized by the new Poor People’s Campaign. 

In the U.S. state of Missouri, dozens of people held a sit-in protest at the state Capitol building, calling for a minimum wage of 15 dollars an hour.  In Nashville, Tennessee, 20 people were arrested as they protested for gun control and against militarism ahead of a visit by President Donald Trump.  And in Washington, D.C., dozens of protesters were arrested as they held a civil disobedience protest outside the office of Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
