Rev. Jesse Jackson was arrested alongside some twenty other activists while attending a protest at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
Jackson, 79, was placed under arrest by Capitol police for “illegal demonstrating activity” for the voting rights protest, which was organized by the Poor People’s Campaign.
This is the latest arrest of several this year for Jackson, who joined on Monday other protesters from the Poor People’s Campaign March outside Union Station in D.C. in support of the Democrats’ sweeping election reform bill.
