Moral Monday March on Manchin

https://www.wtrf.com/news/west-virginia-headlines/poor-peoples-campaign-to-hold-moral-march-on-manchin/

The Poor People’s Campaign will hold a demonstration against West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin on Monday evening.

Liberal activists will gather at a park in Charleston to hold a “Moral March on Manchin.”

They are rallying against the moderate Democrat’s decision to oppose a landmark overhaul of U.S. election law.

Manchin opposes the proposal known as For the People Act because he believes it risks further stoking partisan divides.

As a key senator in a divided chamber, Manchin has frustrated progressive Democrats with his reluctance to support several key agenda items.

We're stuck until 2022. We better make sure all those new voters get back to the polls. We desperately need more seats in the Senate.

out there and in the news. His constituents will get some attention focused on the issue. Any pressure on him is good pressure.
