The Alabama Poor People's Campaign held a rally in downtown Montgomery to help mobilize low-income voters.
The atmosphere was unified as activists from different backgrounds came together to ignite a voting base that could have a real impact on election day.
Attendees marched from the Court Square Fountain to the steps of the state Capitol building while singing “There is Mean Things Happening in this Land,” a historical and political folk song. Organizers at the front of the march carried a coffin in remembrance of those who died from COVID and lack of adequate healthcare.
