Rhana made it to Washington and attended the weekend training for those who were willing to risk arrest. Rhana reported that there were so many people in attendance, that they had to schedule a second training to accommodate the overflow volunteers. Yesterday, over 400 were arrested. More are preparing for arrest each day this week.
And yet, there was almost no corporate media coverage of these mass arrests. The Intercept reports that yesterday,
"CNN did not devote any coverage to the actions. MSNBC mentioned the protests for approximately 12 seconds, while Fox News mentioned the arrests and discussed the protests for about 17 seconds."
Next weekend, larger crowds will gather for Democracy Awakening. They will press Congress to pass reforms to ensure that everyone can cast a vote that counts and that the power of people’s voices is not measured by the size of their wallet. This historic mobilization intends to define the national debate. But will the corporate media cover it?
