Anti KAVANAUGH events this week...

On August 26, people in cities across the country will take to the street to protest Donald Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, where the the judge’s anti-abortion and anti-LGBTQ stances could endanger over half the U.S. population for decades.

In response to Trump’s conservative pick, whose confirmation hearings are scheduled to begin on September 4, NARAL, MoveOn.org, and number of other progressive grassroots groups have organized Unite for Justice, a nationwide day of action that will see at least one demonstration in all 50 states. Here’s what you need to know to join.
All protests that are part of Unite for Justice will take place on Sunday, August 26. However, the rest of the details vary — some demonstrations are rallies followed by hour-long marches; others are all-day events that feature other ways to make your voice heard, such as stations where you can write postcards to your elected officials.

"Unite For Justice"/"Women's Day of Action" PROTEST
Planned protests against SCOTUS nominee Kavanaugh have been building steam and over 150 US cities will protest for our rights and civil rights for all on Aug 26th.

Join us on August 26th as we hold a national day of action in all 50 states to fight Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and demand that our representatives in Washington act NOW to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms. Roe v. Wade, voting rights, workers' rights, LGBTQ rights, immigrant rights, and much more are all in grave danger if this Supreme Court nominee is confirmed. With so much at stake, we cannot back down.

People across the country are rising up to demand that their Senators stop Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination, and protect our most fundamental rights. Everyone agrees: the balance of the Supreme Court is on the line with this lifetime appointment.

Help us spread the word by updating your social media profiles and timelines with Unite for Justice graphics by visiting our gallery of images! There are also ready-to-print posters available.

RESISTANCE WORKS! Spread the word!
Find an event near you. More will be added before Aug 26 or you can start your own. RESIST!
