Democracy Awakening: Thousands Mobilize to Put People Before Corporate Interests

In the final day of a record-setting week of civil disobedience at the Capitol, more than 300 people were arrested on Monday April 18 — including approximately 60 organization and movement leaders — as they demanded democracy reforms.

Together, Democracy Awakening and Democracy Spring accounted for a combined total of 1,400 arrests for non-violent civil disobedience, with thousands more marching in solidarity.

Hundreds arrested after #DemocracyAwakens protests

On Monday, activists from the groups Democracy Spring and Democracy Awakening, protesting money in U.S. politics and voter ID laws, gathered on the steps of the Capitol building and the surrounding streets to make their voices heard. Since the dual Democracy Spring and #DemocracyAwakens protests began last week, over 900 activists have been arrested by Capitol Police — including some famous faces.
