28 JULY 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: Members of Des Moines' "Wall of Moms" chant while they stand in front of the Governor's Mansion on Grand Ave in Des Moines. The Wall of Moms led the march to the mansion. About 150 supporters of Black Lives Matter marched from downtown to Des Moines to the Governor's Mansion. They were demanding that Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds restore the voting rights for felons who have completed their sentence. In June, Reynolds met with representatives of Black Lives Matter and promised to sign an executive order to restore voting rights, but she hasn't said anything more about it in six weeks. Iowa is now the only state in the US that permanently strips felons of their voting rights. That means 60,000 people in Iowa can't vote. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
