Revs. Jesse Jackson & William Barber Arrested at Sit-In at Sen. Sinema's Office
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Reverends Jesse Jackson and William Barber were arrested Monday
along with 37 others during a sit-in at Democratic Senator Kyrsten
Sinema's office in Phoenix calling on her to support ending the
filibuster to help pass voting rights legislation. The Reverend Barber
and the Poor People's Campaign begin a 27-mile march for voting rights
in Texas today. Organizers have described it as a "Selma-to-Montgomery
style" march.
