Actress Alyssa Milano was arrested at the White House during a voting rights protest.

“I was just arrested for demanding the Biden Administration and the Senate use their mandate to protect voting rights,” Milano tweeted Tuesday afternoon.

“Stand with me and @peoplefor and tell the Senate and White House that voting rights shouldn’t depend on where you live. #DontMuteOurVote”

At least 23 other participants were also arrested, according to the People for the American Way, the progressive group that organized the demonstration.

The bill would establish a 15-day minimum early voting period, declare Election Day a federal holiday, and make other cards and documents valid for proof of I.D. for in-person voting, The Hill reports.

Now: Protesters, including @BenJealous, @Alyssa_Milano, faith leaders, and civil rights leaders, are being arrested outside the White House for calling on President Biden to lead on voting rights.
