Congressional Black Caucus chair Joyce Beatty tweeted in defiance after she was arrested by Capitol Police on Thursday afternoon for leading pro-voting rights protesters into a Senate office building.

'You can arrest me. You can’t stop me. You can’t silence me,' she tweeted.

Officers had moved in as Beatty, 71, and a handful of other activists, including Women's March co-founders Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, chanted, 'Fight for justice,' and, 'End the filibuster.' ARE THEY STILL IN JAIL 6 MONTHS AFTER THE CRIME>>>> THEY WERE IN THE SENATE ILLEGALLY TO PROTEST AND LED IN BY A MEMBER...

Capitol Police later said they had arrested nine people for 'demonstrating in a prohibited area on Capitol Grounds.'
IMPORTANT FOR LATER
Beatty said her arrest was just the start.

'I stand in solidarity with Black women and allies across the country in defense of our constitutional right to vote,' she said in a statement.

'We have come too far and fought too hard to see everything systematically dismantled and restricted by those who wish to silence us.

Be assured that this is just the beginning. This is our Power, our message.”


Beatty laid out her stance in a string of tweets before she was arrested.

'Black women are demanding OUR right to vote! We’re marching to the Senate to send a strong message,' she posted before setting off.

Then at 3:42pm she added: 'We will not be turned around. We will keep walking.'

'We will fight for freedom. We will fight for our right to vote!'
