Activists and clergy members were arrested on Capitol Hill on August 3, after staging a protest inside Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s office to oppose the war in Iran and advocate for voting rights. The demonstration, led by Bishop William J. Barber II and the Repairers of the Breach organization, was part of the group’s "100 Days of Action" campaign ahead of the November midterm elections. Protesters sought to voice their opposition to the SAVE America Act, arguing it would suppress voter access.
