A South Side Chicago pastor joined a hunger strike on January 6, 2022, 1 year after Donald Trump supporters led an insurrection attack on the Capitol.

CHICAGO -- On the anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack against the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump, 25 faith leaders from around the country announced they are going on a hunger strike for voting rights.Among them is the pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

"There's some real strong support on both sides of the aisle," said Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III."People believe that everyone should have the right to vote and there should be no obstacle to anyone trying to vote." Democrats in Congress have rallied around two voting rights bills with Republicans blocking both. Some Republican senators have said they are considering more limited changes to the election certification process, which was interrupted by the 2021 attack.

If all you clowns demand vax cards w ID. Then common sense says you can show an ID in person to vote!! SMFH

Not to be that guy, but needing an ID to vote is a 'restriction' but needing a vax card AND an ID to sit inside is a necessity that is easily obtainable for everyone?

One way to make minorities healthier

the real hunger strike should be on Jan 20, 2021 when we mark a year of leaderless leadership and realize what 80 million people did to America by voting for sleepy joe. Americans are helpless with hopeless-joe!

Maybe he should be worried about all the crime/murders in the city. Dude is a fake pastor looking for pub.

Totally worthless, other than getting his 15 minutes of fame 🤦‍♂️

That’s gonna do a lot of good.

Everyone can vote just stop the lies it’s pathetic

The ignorance of some people is just plain sad🤦🏻‍♂️🤡
