A mass citizens arrest will take place Tuesday in Washington DC during a protest against the health care insurance industry.

Thousands of Americans, including a group from here in the Valley, plan to "arrest" health insurance executives. Members of the Mahoning Valley Organizing Collaborative and community leaders left Monday morning for the nation's capitol. Group members said they're upset over lack of coverage for citizens without care and high premiums for those who are covered.

The group will also deliver a letter to Congressman John Boccieri from several area members of the Catholic community.
