59 Arrested in Protest of Kavanaugh Near Supreme Court

HeadlineSep 28, 2018

On Capitol Hill, more than a thousand protesters chanting “We believe Christine Ford!” rallied outside Congress and marched to the Supreme Court Thursday. Police arrested 59 people as they blocked a street in a peaceful sit-in protest. This is Women’s March co-chair Linda Sarsour.

Linda Sarsour: “We are outraged at what is happening in that hearing room—the trial that Dr. Ford is being put on. Survivors are always on trial, and their perpetrators are always defended, and they’re always protected. And we’re tired of it. Enough is enough!”

After headlines, we’ll spend the rest of the hour on Thursday’s historic Senate hearings.
