Special Report: In the Streets with the New Poor People's Campaign Against Racism and Poverty

Demonstrators descended on Washington Monday in the latest protest staged by the new Poor People's Campaign, which organizers say is the most expansive wave of nonviolent direct action in the U.S. this century. Campaign organizers Reverends William Barber and Liz Theoharis and around 100 others were arrested for protesting a Supreme Court ruling that dealt a major setback to voting rights by upholding Ohio's controversial voter purge law. At least 300 people were arrested nationwide. Nearly 2,000 people have been arrested around the country since the campaign launched, 50 years after Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. launched the first Poor People's Campaign. Democracy Now!'s Amy Goodman and Carla Wills were in the streets of Washington, D.C., covering the action.
