Activists march for voting rights in Texas

Hundreds of activists and supporters marched in Austin, Texas on Saturday to demand the protection of voting rights in the state.

The rally concludes a four-day march from Georgetown, Texas to Austin, where dozens of voting rights activists, including former Democratic congressman and presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, marched to push for a federal voting bill.

Organizers said the rally was to send a message to Washington, D.C. to pass the For the People Act, which is a proposed federal voting bill.

If the bill is passed, it has the potential to block voting restrictions currently being considered in several states, including Texas and Georgia.
