by WI Guest Author December 1, 2020December 21, 2021

Civil rights leaders and lawmakers across the nation are now pressing increasingly hard to establish public policies to monitor and help make prescription drug prices affordable.

The Rev. Al Sharpton leads the Commitment March to fight for criminal justice reform on August 28 with some of the families who have lost loved ones to police brutality. The march, under the rallying call "Get Your Knee Off Our Necks," coincided with the 57th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 March on Washington at the Lincoln Memorial.
