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

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."
