Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke launched a four-day, 27-mile march in Texas against voter suppression, calling on Congress to end the filibuster and pass voting rights legislation. “We are here to start this march for our democracy,” Barber, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, said at a press conference Tuesday, the evening before people were set to start the multiday march from Georgetown to Austin. Barber condemned Texas Republicans’ efforts to pass legislation restricting voting rights, calling such bills “the canary in the mine” and noting how Republicans in state legislatures across the country are pushing hundreds of bills to suppress the vote.More Related News
