MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Shelby County Commissioner Tami Sawyer was one of 25 people arrested while protesting for voting rights outside the White House Tuesday, according to People for the American Way.

PFAW, the League of Women Voters in the United States, and the Declaration for American Democracy led the action, which was demanding the end of the filibuster over the Freedom to Vote Act, and urging President Biden to use his influence to get it passed in the Senate.

“As a Black southerner, I came to DC to represent one of the most disenfranchised demographics in the country. Collectively, we bet on President Joe Biden and now it’s time for him to settle up,” said Sawyer in a statement. “Do not continue to take for granted the very people who supported your journey to the White House, because where would you be if we could no longer vote? End the filibuster now.
