On the 26th of June, a new generation of Freedom Riders held a voting rights rally on the Mall, demanding that Congress trash the GOP's filibuster that has stopped the For the People Act and other voting rights legislation. Turning back a wave of GOP promoted restrictions on voting in Southern and GOP states is likely to be crucial to blocking a Trump comeback in 2024.

On the 24th of June, protests against the GOP filibuster that has halted the "For the People Act" started with 42 arrests for civil disobedience at the Capitol fence, and ended in a noisy dance party protest at the home of GOP Senator Mitch McConnell. Protesters were demanding the Democrats abolish the filibuster and push through the "For the people" Federal voting rights protections without GOP cooperation.
