#CancelKavanaugh: Womens March marches on Supreme Court, Occupies Hart Building

Submitted by Luke on Thu, 10/04/2018 - 17:13

On the 4th of October, the Women's March and other groups bussed in protesters from all over the US for a massive march from Brett Kavanaugh's current place of work at the Federal Courthouse (333 Const Ave) to the US Supreme Court. Plans to hold a massive sit-in on the Capitol steps were hampered by Capitol police blocking access to the entire building, so protesters took over the Hart building atrium after the rally instead.
