Democracy Spring sit-in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol wrapped up it’s fifth day with reports of over 800 arrests since the protest began on April 11, 2016. Organizers of the protest demand that Congress take immediate action to end the corruption of big money in politics and ensure free & fair elections in which every American has an equal voice.

Among those arrested were actress Rosario Dawson and Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks. Rosario Dawson 36 year old actress, singer, and writer is best known for her roles in Men in Black II, Sin City, Clerks II and most recently Netflix original series Daredevil.

Cenk Uygur is an American columnist, political commentator and activist. Uygur is the main host and co-founder of the American liberal/progressive political and social internet commentary program, The Young Turks (TYT) and the co-founder of the associated TYT Network.

Since the first day of the peaceful protest there has been very little coverage by the major news networks with some such as CNN, MSNBC and Fox News spending less than 30 seconds on the story.
