A protest at the U.S. Capitol, which organizers said was to protect American’s civil rights, ended without incident on Sept. 18, despite verbal clashes between protesters and counter protesters, and four arrests before and after the rally.

Event organizer Matt Braynard, a former Trump aide who now heads the non-profit “Look Ahead America,” said the event was a civil rights protest calling for attention to the disparate treatment of non-violent Jan. 6 protesters when compared to others, such as those protesting Justice Brett Kavanaugh—who also entered congressional buildings on Capitol Hill to exercise their First Amendment right while public servants were there working.
