The Democracy Spring campaign resulted in the MOST arrests at the capitol in history.
But are mainstream news outlets giving it attention? Nope.
Yesterday, hundreds of peaceful protestors gathered outside Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., to demonstrate against corporate money in politics. Reportedly, all are taking part in the #DemocracySpring campaign which extends until April 18th.
The protestors began their plight by marching 150 miles from the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia over the period of a week. Less than an hour after arriving, however, police officials warned that they would arrest all in attendance.

Because the peaceful protestors are campaigning against corruption in politics, they ignored the warning. This resulted in approximately 400 people being arrested – the most arrests at the capitol in America’s history. Did any mainstream media outlet cover this news, however? Absolutely not.
USUncut relays that while the movement has garnered over 53,000 tweets on Twitter, most major news stations are staying silent about the rally.
