| | + | In response to the unacceptable voter integrity issues in the [[United States presidential election, 2020]] millions of Americans were outraged that their votes had been ignored. Demonstrations around the country took place to restore election security including the now infamous [[2021 Capitol protests]]. The demonstrators were considered by the justice department as political dissidents accused of insurrection but never charged. As a result, hundreds of peaceful demonstrators were abused in prison, denied basic civil liberties, and held in solitude. In a stand against this injustice, LAA has organized numerous rallies across the country since June 19th, 2021.<ref>https://lookaheadamerica.org/laa-announces-rally-against-political-persecution-on-june-19-at-the-doj/</ref><ref>https://lookaheadamerica.org/rally</ref> Rallies are slated to continue until the FBI and DOJ have released every prisoner being held unjustly. LAA maintains a database of January 6th arrestees.<ref>https://j6.lookaheadamerica.org/j6/</ref> |
