Rally in Raleigh brings attention to poverty, pushes lawmakers for change
“An event being billed as a ‘mass rally; was held Monday evening in downtown Raleigh.
Hundreds of voting rights supporters gathered outside of the state capitol, hoping to call attention to voter suppression and efforts to fight poverty.
Some streets around Bicentennial Plaza were blocked off for a rally organized by The Poor People’s Campaign to demand changes that will help reduce poverty.
Many in the crowd said they want to see changes in the laws that can help people out of poverty.”
