The protest, dubbed “Bravery Is Contagious,” will be held in D.C. outside of the Supreme Court this Thursday, October 4.
“If there was ever a moment when the voice of the people can come together in concert to change the fate of our nation, this is it,” reads a statement from the protest organizers. “Arm in arm, organized and ready, every child, woman, and man, must take to the streets to protest this nomination. The legitimacy of the nation’s highest court is at stake as is the future of our country.”
