Jesse Jackson during the Poor People's campaign march for Voters Rights on Capitol Hill.

In August 2021, Rev. Jesse Jackson joined activists and supporters in the Poor People's Campaign march on Capitol Hill to advocate for voting rights. This march was part of a larger movement aimed at addressing voter suppression and ensuring fair and equal access to the ballot box, especially for marginalized communities. Jackson, a long-time advocate for civil rights, linked the fight for voter rights to the broader struggle for economic and racial justice. The march was symbolic of the ongoing legacy of the civil rights movement, with Jackson standing alongside a new generation of activists working to confront modern-day challenges to democracy. His participation was a reminder of the continuity of the fight for equality, from the marches of the 1960s to the present-day efforts to protect voting rights. Jackson’s presence emphasized the importance of voter mobilization and the need for legislative action to safeguard the democratic process, particularly for the poor and disenfranchised. #MomentsOfLife #JesseJackson #compaign
