Protests against Kavanaugh’s confirmation raged in Washington, D.C., and across the country Saturday. Capitol Police arrested 164 demonstrators, including 150 outside the U.S. Capitol Building and a handful of protesters who interrupted the Senate roll call vote. In New York City, protesters took to the streets just as Kavanaugh was confirmed. This is Zakiyah Ansari of Alliance for Quality Education.

Zakiyah Ansari: “This is bigger than Kavanaugh. I want to constantly say that. This is way bigger. As a black Muslim woman in society, I am clear that Kavanaugh will not only overturn Roe v. Wade, but many civil rights legislations that are impactful, many things that have been supportive of communities that look like me, he will overturn those, as well. But what I also am clear is that as a black woman in society, knowing the struggles we’ve been up against, that we too can rise above this, we too can fight back.”
