This past few weeks have been rough, and it’s hard not to feel powerless as the Administration and the GOP majority in the Senate curtail a real investigation and ram through their nominee for a lifetime seat on the nation’s highest court. But there’s still time to make our voices heard.
From Common Dreams:
Outrage over Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination is growing this week with the FBI preparing to wrap up its investigation into sexual assault claims against him without interviewing Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and President Donald Trump opening mocking Ford's allegations—but progressive groups are rallying women and men across the country on Wednesday to take part in dozens of actions to demand the Senate vote against Kavanaugh.
Dozens of protest vigils are planned in cities across the country for Wednesday afternoon and evening, with organizers in some key states planning to drop off letters to senators urging them to vote "no" on Kavanaugh.
Meanwhile, the Women's March, Planned Parenthood, and other groups are organizing a major march set to begin at 12:30pm on Thursday in Washington, D.C., starting at the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals where Kavanaugh is currently a judge and ending at the Supreme Court, where a large rally will take place.
They provide links to a map to locate today’s protest vigils, and to the “Cancel Kavanaugh” march tomorrow.
Every GOP senator and any wavering Democratic senator must hear from you today. But it’s also important to be seen! And to make yourself heard! Bring your neighbor, your family and your friends and show your community that we believe in a real and thorough vetting, and the highest standards, for members of our nation’s highest court.
Today and tomorrow, before it’s too late, let’s get out there and demonstrate our commitment to our nation’s legal foundations, our sense of civic duty, and a better future!!
