128 Arrested on Capitol Hill Protesting Brett Kavanaugh Nomination

HeadlineSep 25, 2018

At least 128 people were arrested on Capitol Hill Monday protesting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who has been publicly accused of sexual assault by two women. Bob Bland, co-president of the Women’s March, helped organize the mass civil disobedience.

Bob Bland: “Women from all over the country have come to Washington to put their bodies on the line, to say we will not go back, we believe survivors, and to say, look at all of the thousands of women and allies who are here today. Women are to be believed, to be trusted. And we will always come out for each other, because we have each other’s backs.”
