Several thousand 'Democracy Spring' protesters rallied on Capitol Hill in Washington DC, Sunday, as the protest ran into its seventh day. The movement, which is calling for money out of politics, has made its presence known in the US capital for a week now - while demanding change in US governance and electoral systems.
President and CEO of the NAACP Cornell William Brooks attended the event on Sunday. He said, "We say, it's not right for politicians to suppress and steal the vote before the election and then buy and sell legislative votes after the election."
Members of Democracy Spring have identified at least four pending bills related to the regulation of financial institutions practices, and want Congress to take action to approve them. Avaaz, 99 Rise and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), who have been actively endorsing recent anti-Trump protests, are some of the organisations and protest groups taking part in the event.
