Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, a Democrat of Ohio, was one of nine people arrested during a voting rights protest at the Capitol this afternoon.
Beatty, who serves as the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, shared a photo on Twitter of US Capitol police (USCP) officers putting a zip-tie on her and escorting her out of the building.
WOW

#ReformVotingLawsDontAssestCongressmembers
What is even happening anymore? Members of Congress are being arrested for peacefully advocating for voting rights, many legal cases for which are being tried in state and federal courts around the country, as well as in the U.S. Senate?
