Hundreds rally in Olympia to end mass incarceration
Hundreds of people gathered in Olympia on Monday in support of prison reform and ending mass incarcerations in Washington state.
Tarra Simmons, a candidate for the 23rd District seat in this year's election, was one of the guest speakers on the steps of the capitol building.
Simmons' story made national headlines after she attempted to become a lawyer following her release from prison. Despite graduating near the top of her class, she was initially denied the ability to take the bar exam. A state Supreme Court ultimately ruled in her favor.
“The only people in this world who can change things are the ones who actually believe they can,” she said to the crowd.
